Today is an important day for the money markets in the United Kingdom.
With its initial release in April 2017, the UK Money Markets Code has proven to be a valuable set of standards and best practices for the activities in these markets by UK Market Participants.
To ensure that the Code remains relevant and up to date as markets evolve, the UK’s Money Markets Committee undertook a review of its content and the resulting revised version of the Code has been published today on the Bank of England website.

Notes:
“The UK Money Markets Code (‘the Code’) has been developed to provide a common set of principles in order to promote the integrity and effective functioning of the UK money markets. It is intended to promote a fair, effective and transparent market in which a diverse set of UK Market Participants, supported by resilient infrastructure, are able to confidently and effectively transact in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of behavior.â€

The MMC is chaired by the Bank of England. The committee meets quarterly and also has two permanent sub-committees: the UK Money Markets Code Sub-Committee and the Securities Lending Committee.â€
