GB/T 35964-2023 Securities and related financial instruments—Classification of financial instruments (CFI) code
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the classification codes and definitions of financial instruments that can be applied to the current international financial system. The classification principles of financial instruments in this document can be applied to the classification of financial instruments in international transactions as well as in China's domestic financial system. The term "financial instruments" not only includes traditional securities, but also includes innovative financial products that have emerged in various markets in recent years (and the trend of financial instrument innovation will continue in the future). This document is designed for the management and practical application of transactions in the securities industry. So far, the management and transactions of securities in various countries have been conducted independently, with no impact on countries outside their own. Therefore, the application of this document is also decided by relevant institutions in each country, such as stock exchanges, banks, brokers, regulatory authorities, and other relevant securities institutions. In principle, the CFI code itself reflects the characteristics defined by the issued financial instruments during their unchanged period. However, certain changes may also lead to the reassignment of new CFI codes to the originally anticipated financial instruments. These changes include changes in voting rights or ownership at shareholders' meetings, etc.
