NFA (National Futures Association) has received notice that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved changes to NFA Requirements Section 11 and the Interpretive Notice entitled “Forex Transactions.” The amendments increase the minimum net capital requirement for Forex Dealer Members (FDMs) to $5,000,000.

These changes will become effective on December 21, 2007.
