ACI FMA Launches New Initiatives for Diversity and Young Talent in Financial Markets.   ACI Financial Markets Association is actively broadening its scope with new initiatives to enhance diversity and nurture young talent within the financial markets. Recently, ACI FMA launched several new Working Groups and Committees, highlighting a commitment to fostering a more inclusive and dynamic global finance community.   One of the flagship initiatives, the Women in Global Markets Committee (WiGMC), has been met with strong participation, bringing together over 30 members worldwide. This committee marks a significant step toward gender diversity, providing a platform to amplify women’s voices and contributions across the financial markets.   In alignment with its goal of nurturing young talent, ACI FMA announced at its recent ACI FMA Council meeting in Aqaba in Jordan the formation of a new committee focused on younger professionals. This upcoming Global Committee will create a unique network for early-career professionals in financial markets, supporting mentorship and career growth. ACI FMA will soon invite National Associations to nominate candidates from their local networks to join this committee.   Additionally, ACI National Associations in Switzerland, Denmark, and the UK have contributed inspiring proposals to support the “Next Generation” in finance.  For further details on these ideas and proposals, please visit the ACI FMA website: https://lnkd.in/d4tWyRpE   ACI FMA looks forward to collaborating with its global National Associations in advancing these initiatives, continuing its mission to support inclusive and forward-thinking practices across financial markets. #ACIFMA #DiversityInFinance #WomenInFinance #FinancialMarkets #YoungTalent #InclusiveFinance #GlobalFinance #GenderDiversity #NextGeneration #FinancialInclusion #WorkingGroups #FinanceInitiatives

FX Global Code in Sri Lanka – New Public Register Following the plan of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) to implement the FX Global Code in the country, the Sri Lanka Forex Association (SLFA) has launched a Public Register on their website, with the objective of publishing the Statements of Commitment of the Market Participants that have adhered to the FX Global Code. We believe this is a very relevant initiative undertaken by the SLFA, which is affiliated with ACI Financial Markets Association (ACI FMA), as it demonstrates the commitment of the Market Participants to adhere to these guidelines for good market practice in the FX Market. ACI FMA would like to express its appreciation for the intensive work carried out by the SLFA in promoting the adoption of the FX Global Code in Sri Lanka. We are extremely pleased to have contributed to this project, as our Association delivered Workshops and a Session in Colombo to support local market participants in their efforts towards successful FX Global Code implementation. We encourage other ACI National Associations to promote similar initiatives as they clearly illustrate that widespread adoption of the FX Global Code is essential for upholding the highest ethical and professional standards, which should be embraced by all Market Participants in the FX Market. To view the recording of the Session held in Colombo, please access our website on https://lnkd.in/dD9Xz7WV. The SLFA Public Register is available here: https://lnkd.in/dmXYxU_2 We would like to thank the valued members of ACI FMA for continuing to be longstanding proponents and influencers of good market practices for the financial markets industry.

GDF Webinar on Global Cryptoasset Standards: Recording is Now Available As previously communicated, ACI Financial Markets Association and Global Digital Finance (GDF) have announced the launch of a new Joint Standards Stewardship Working Group, which sets out to promote and steward the GDF Global Cryptoasset Standards (the Standards) published in July 2023 (it can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/d7SMTxtr). The Standards is a pioneering code of conduct designed for financial institutions engaged in intermediation activities in cryptoasset markets, including brokerage, custody, and settlement. The new Working Group sets out to: ·    Develop applicable scenario and use cases for the implementation of the Standards on the ACI FMA’s ELAC (E-Learning, Attestation, and Certification) Portal; ·    Provide a sandbox environment for firms to test attestation and certification to the Standards through ELAC, thus supporting better alignment among market participants and promoting the consistent application of the Standards; ·    Ensure the Standards evolve as industry matures by maintaining it as a living document that reflects the industry’s ongoing priorities and concerns. As an example, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has expressed strong support for the Standards and sees them as a valuable supplement to future FCA rules on cryptoassets. To discuss the background and development of the Standards, and what to expect from new Working Group, GDF hosted a Webinar on 15th October 2024 with the following speakers: ·    Madeleine Boys, from Global Digital Finance ·    Marianne Webber, from Standard Chartered ·    Seha Islam, from EY ·   Stephane Malrait 🌍, from ACI FMA ·    Rui Correia, from ACI FMA Madeleine moderated the Webinar and discussed the GDF's engagement with regulators on the Standards, including IOSCO, the FCA, SEC and HKMA. Marianne and Seha spoke about the development of the Standards, whilst Stephane and Rui spoke about the objectives of the WG and the utility of their ELAC tool to help develop training and education around the Standards for market participants. Furthermore, as ACI FMA strongly believes that the Standards reflect the minimum good market practices that are expected from Market Participants in the Cryptoasset Market, we have decided to issue a Statement of Support to GDF which can be found below. The Webinar recording is available here: https://lnkd.in/dMuxNQHi. To know more about ELAC, please click here: https://lnkd.in/dArmuEWq . The first meeting of the Working Group will be hosted on 30th October 2024 at 2pm GMT. If you want to get involved, please register your interest here (https://lnkd.in/d_Ru2_a4).
