FXWG was founded with the hopes of strengthening a code of conduct and fostering higher standards and transparency in the foreign exchange (FX) market. In particular, the FXWG is presently working to establish a unified global code of principles for FX market participants – the FXWG membership includes not only major financial hubs but also centers in both advanced and developing economies.
A single, global common code of conduct is a necessary goal for the FX industry.
The aforementioned code will encompass all segments of the wholesale FX market, building off of previous developments and headway pioneered from a number of regional foreign exchange committees (FXCs). FXCs have previously agreed to push forward a more comprehensive focus on an initiative of a single global code for the FX market. The prospective date for the finality of such a code is tentatively scheduled for May 2017.

According to Mr. Debelle in a recent statement on the FXWG’s inception, "A single, global common code of conduct is a necessary goal for the FX industry. The Code will be principles-based ‒ rather than rules-based ‒ and will provide guidance on what is, as well as what is not, appropriate behaviour for practitioners in the FX market."
