The functioning of the Forex market is regulated by Presidential Decree of 04.06.2015 N 231 «On the implementation of activities in the over-the-counter Forex market». On the basis of this legal instrument are operating Forex National Center, the banking industry, as well as enterprise-bank financial sector, which are not banks.

Other organizations that are registered in accordance with the provisions of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus also have the right to implement the activities of the Forex company.

A prerequisite is the entry of commercial organizations into the register of Forex companies. In fact, this center is a subsidiary of the licensing institute. To be included in the register, the following conditions must be met:
