Triennial Central Bank Survey of Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Market Activity (2025)

In April 2025, a survey of turnover in the foreign exchange market and the financial derivatives market was conducted, in which 52 central banks or similar authorities from around the world participated, including the Czech National Bank, which collected data from more than 1,100 banks or traders. Similarly to previous surveys, Bank for International Settlements (BIS) co-ordinated this project. The aim of this survey is to obtain information on the size and structure of foreign exchange and derivatives markets, which subsequently serves not only to central banks but also to market participants and to both academic and general public.

The attached tables (divided into a part regarding turnover and a part regarding the method of settlement) contain data on nominal turnover of trades with individual financial instruments for the Czech Republic cumulatively for the entire month of April 2025, processed by the Czech National Bank. The global data collected by the BIS, based on the contributions of all participating central banks, can be found on the internet address referenced below. Figures are stated in millions of US dollars.

The following eight banks took part in this survey in the Czech Republic: COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft, Prague branch, Ceska sporitelna a.s., Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka a.s., Citibank Europe plc, Banka Creditas a.s., ING Bank N.V., Komercni banka a.s, Raiffeisenbank a.s.
