The Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB) has published its 2025 workplan, setting out ongoing projects across its five Committees alongside topics raised for potential work during 2025, with the aim of producing practical common standards and statements of good practice for wholesale financial markets. The workplan prioritises topics intended to reduce uncertainty and ambiguity in market practices, bridge gaps between regulation and market developments, respond to market threats or trends, and strengthen and converge international market standards. FMSB noted it has already issued a Statement of Good Practice on Front Office Supervision, expects to issue its final Standard on the Sharing of Standard Settlement Instructions shortly, plans to conclude work on Carbon Markets and Grey Market Trading, and intends to commence work in additional areas identified by members. Further detail on work in progress and potential topics is set out in the full 2025 workplan on FMSB’s website.
