Gerardo Garcia, General Director of Central Bank Operations at Banco de México and Chair of the Global Foreign Exchange Committee (GFXC), joins the 360T Podcast to explore one of the most important initiatives shaping modern FX markets: the FX Global Code. Reflecting on its origins, he discusses how the Code has helped rebuild trust, strengthen governance, and establish a common standard of best practice across a truly global marketplace — while also highlighting where further progress is still needed, particularly on buy-side adoption.

Looking ahead, Garcia examines how the Code is evolving to keep pace with a rapidly changing market environment. From artificial intelligence and automation to shifting market structure and the rise of new participants, he shares how the GFXC is approaching these developments to ensure the Code remains relevant, practical, and forward-looking.

He also offers a unique perspective on the continued electronification of the Mexican FX market, the growing global significance of the peso, and the role of technology in driving greater transparency, efficiency, and resilience across FX trading.

As he prepares to retire from a 40-year career in FX, including the last 25 at T. Rowe Price where he currently serves as Head of FX, Toby Baker reflects on how technology has transformed buy-side trading desks. He examines how the rise of e-trading reshaped market structure by driving new efficiencies, and explores the next wave of innovation — from AI and automation to tokenisation and advanced data analytics — set to define the future of FX trading.

Baker also discusses the pivotal role FX plays as both a global asset class and a core component of investment portfolios, and considers how traders can continue to add value in an increasingly automated environment. Finally, he reflects on the best career advice he has received and shares his own guidance for the next generation of FX professionals.

As tradition dictates, Colin Lambert, Co-Founder of The Full FX, kicks off the year by joining our first podcast to unpack the biggest moments and surprises from FX in 2025 — and to offer his predictions for what lies ahead. Undeterred by the mixed fortunes of last year’s calls, Lambert forecasts major crypto and stablecoin developments in traditional FX, pre-emptively bemoans the noise around Europe’s shift to T+1, and warns that technology is starting to threaten established market-data businesses. He also makes the case for continued investment in discretionary funds, predicts at least one major hedge fund casualty in 2026, and — after a stellar Trade of the Year performance in 2025 — explains why he’s now selling TBH/HUF.
