The Euromoney Foreign Exchange survey is the most comprehensive quantitative and qualitative annual study available on the FX markets. The FX market is an unregulated OTC market and there are no reliable, aggregated, global statistics made available against which to benchmark the survey outside the BIS studies. The survey also excludes a number of categories of market participant, which means that the total volume reported by the survey is not and not intended to be an accurate reflection of total global foreign exchange activity. Euromoney aims to capture client price-taking activity only and not any interbank/interdealer broking volumes. However, given the geographical and participant-type spread represented by the survey, Euromoney believes that the survey provides an accurate proxy for trends in the major areas of activity polled and accurately discerns the relative performance of the banks ranked, particularly over periods of two or more years. The 2013 survey launched on the Thursday 17th January and closed Friday 22nd February - and represents the previous calendar years trading (2012). All voting is carried out electronically via a secure, dedicated data collection website. Respondents can amend votes prior to the closing deadline by re-entering the survey form via the link.
