The UK Money Markets Code: Progress, Updates & What’s Next

Introduction

The UK Money Markets Code (‘the Code’) was first published by the Bank of England in 2017, around the same time as the FX Global Code and the Global Precious Metal Code in the wake of a raft of financial scandals and the Bank of England’s Fair & Effective Markets Review of June 2014 (‘FEMR’), which was co-chaired by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and the UK’s HM Treasury. In November 2025, the latest iteration of the Code was recognised by the FCA as representing an industry standard.
