The Fair and Effective Markets Review has published a report proposing a number of policies to prevent misconduct in the wholesale Fixed Income, Currency and Commodity (FICC) markets.

The Review was established in June 2014 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Governor of the Bank of England in an attempt to restore trust in the wholesale FICC markets. The report, published on Wednesday morning, sets out 21 recommendations aimed at achieving this.

The report is based on four principles: that individuals should be held accountable for their own conduct; that firms should take collective responsibility for market practices; that regulators should close gaps in regulatory coverage and broaden the regime holding senior management to account and that coordinated international action should be taken where possible to improve fairness and effectiveness.
