The EACT has responded to the European Commission's consultation on foreign exchange instruments. The response highlights that FX transactions undertaken for commercial purposes by non-financial companies should not be considered as financial instruments under MiFID as such transactions promote rather than threaten financial stability. Furthermore, the delineation between a spot and an FX forward transaction should take proper account of the existing market practices and any eventual change of interpretation and scope should not put a further compliance burden on non-financial companies.
