Central Bank Register
The Central Bank Register lists central banks which have stated their commitment to the FX Global Code. It is a further demonstration of central banks' strong intention to support and promote adherence to the Code. This register is also included in the Global Index of Public Registers established by the Global FX Committee.
Eligibility and renewal
To further promote adherence and transparency, a public register has been established where central banks can post their Statements of Commitment to the Code.
The Register is hosted on the website of the BIS with the administrative support of the Secretariat of the GFXC. The Register accords with the criteria for Participating Public Registers as specified by the Global Foreign Exchange Committee (GFXC) and is included in the Global Index of Public Registers.
The Register is open exclusively to central banks that wish to post their Statement and the BIS. It is not open to other private or public sector entities (even if those are affiliated with the central bank). Central banks can request the inclusion of their Statement in the Register by submitting it to the GFXC Secretariat. In general, only Statements that are consistent with the form set out in Annex 3 of the Code, in English or in another major language, will be accepted.
Acceptance of a Statement does not imply any type of validation or verification of its accuracy by the GFXC or the BIS. All entries on the Register will be labelled as "central bank" under the "market participant type" field and "CB" under the "public register" field.
At least every three years, the GFXC will consider the case for a comprehensive review of the Code. Following each such review, the GFXC Secretariat will invite central banks to consider renewing their Statements included in the Register. Each central bank will determine whether or not a renewal of their Statement is appropriate; although renewal is encouraged, maintaining an entry on the Register is not contingent on a renewal.
Renewed Statements can be submitted to email@globalfxc.org so that the relevant Register entry can be updated. Central banks may have their Statements removed from the Register at their own discretion by making a request to the GFXC Secretariat.
