The UK Money Markets Code
The UK Money Markets Code is a voluntary code written by market participants. It was first published in 2017 and updated in 2021.
The code sets out standards and the best practice expected from participants in the deposit, repo and securities lending markets in the UK. The code is endorsed by the Bank of England Money Markets Committee and will be updated regularly.
The Money Markets Committee has also established a Public Register of Institutions who have signed a Statement of Commitment or a Statement of Support to the Code. The purpose of the Register is to further restore trust in financial markets by making it easier to see which institutions have taken the important step of committing to the principles set out in the Code.
Bank of England Money Markets Committee
The Money Markets Committee (MMC) is a senior-level forum for market participants and the relevant UK public authorities to discuss issues concerning the UK unsecured deposits and funding market, the securities lending market and the repo market.
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.
