In line with the precepts of the Benchmark Error Policy, FMDQ Exchange shall publish on its website on a quarterly basis, the incidences of errors.

FMDQ Benchmark Methodologies
FMDQ Exchange Methodologies are a set of procedures applied by the Exchange to derive and calculate daily fixings and market closing rates/prices. The determination and calculation of fixings and closing rates/prices include a validation process whereby, among other steps, FMDQ Exchange reviews data submissions and fixes rates/prices pursuant to certain pre-determined tolerance checks.
FMDQ Exchange has put in place internal guidelines and quality control procedures that govern the application and calculation of all fixings and closing rates/prices. These controls are intended to provide consistency and oversight to the process.
All methodologies are subject to periodic reviews and amendments, keeping in line with best practices.
