GB/T 35964-2018 Securities and related financial instruments—Classification of financial instruments(CFI code)
Basic Information
Scope
This standard specifies the classification and coding of financial instruments, and the classification and coding system can be applied to the current international financial system. The classification principles of financial instruments in this standard can be applied to the classification of financial instruments in international transactions as well as to the classification of financial instruments within individual countries. 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 standard is designed for the supervision of the international securities industry and the practical application of transactions. So far, the supervision and trading of securities worldwide have been carried out independently, with no impact on countries outside their own borders. Therefore, the application of this standard is also decided by relevant agencies in various countries, 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 can also lead to the reassignment of new CFI codes to the originally anticipated financial instruments. These changes include voting rights or ownership changes in shareholders' meetings, etc.
