Proposed changes to bring commodity markets within unified regulatory framework
As India looks to reclaim ground in commodity trading, the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has sought a series of regulatory changes from the government to deepen commodity trading and participation at GIFT-IFSC.
The proposals, drawn from an earlier report submitted by an expert committee, are aimed at positioning the Gujarat-based financial hub as a global centre for commodity trading. A central recommendation is to notify commodity trading as a "financial product" under the IFSCA Act, alongside classifying warehousing and commodity broking as "financial services".
According to the Authority, this change would bring commodity markets within a unified regulatory framework.
