Our interests

The interest for the ACI is growing again, and resuming its rightful place in assisting the professional standing of the industry. A broad array of market participants from all sectors in financial services, from sell-side bankers and brokers to buy-side clients and regulators, are again understanding the role that the ACI can play in the modern world. Many are seeking membership and the strong benefits that membership brings. Large institutions are involved in our training and education programmes, and the ACI Model Code is widely accepted as the single best global standard of OTC ethical conduct available to the market. Being a member of ACI is of importance in many countries, and our fellowship among ACI members can open opportunities the world over.

The association still has its head office in Paris. Representatives from the member states form the ACI Council, which elects the board, the ACI Executive Committee, during the annual congress. The ACI Council also elects representatives to the four ACI Working Groups.

In ACI Norway, the board consists of 8 representatives from the Norwegian banking industry. The chairman occasionally attends the yearly ACI World Congress and keeps the board updated on what’s going on in the industry worldwide. During a normal year, the Board organizes 2 annual seminars for its members. This is an important gathering with relevant speakers and a social dinner afterwards,

If you want to read more history, a document was prepared in connection with the 50th anniversary for ACI Norway in 2005.
