Introduction
Before entrusting money to a brokerage company, you need to familiarize yourself with all its documents and find out where it is registered, in what jurisdiction it operates and to which agency it is subordinate. If the company is not regulated by a third party (regulator), you will have no leverage over it in the event of a conflict. Let's find out who regulates Forex in different countries and who they are - Forex regulators.
First of all, the Forex currency market itself is not regulated or controlled: the principle of free currency conversion operates here, there is no fixed exchange rate, and there are no restrictions on the direction and volume of transactions. But the relationship between clients and intermediaries (brokerage companies), as well as their activities, are strictly regulated by local laws and the relevant supervisory departments - Forex regulators.

Market regulators
In the entire system of market regulators, competition plays the main role as a control mechanism. Competition forces sellers and producers to satisfy the needs of society in the best way for them. With the help of the mechanism of market competition, the efficient activities of manufacturers are established, the use of advanced technologies is improved, quality characteristics are improved, the nomenclature is updated, the organization of production and management is improved, and costs are reduced.
Together with competition, market regulators are able to form unified economic methods of a market economy, forcing producers to take into account the interests and requests of the buyer and produce certain products (provide services).
The transition to the widespread use of market regulators of the economy is characterized by the search for non-traditional forms of management, including implementation in industries and companies.

Price as a market regulator
The primary role in the system of market regulators is played by price, which is the most visible, powerful marketing tool that causes a quick reaction from the market.
Not a single enterprise can function effectively without a competent pricing policy, which is based on knowledge of the essence, relationships and patterns of behavior of market prices, the basis of price marketing.
An important factor in making decisions in the field of price is the availability of reliable information, including a comprehensive analysis of the price market situation. To solve this issue, it is necessary to know the methodology for collecting, processing and analyzing data that can characterize prices, the process of their formation and changes.
The study of price patterns and pricing systems occurs through modern economic theory. Most experts examine price as a monetary expression of the value of a product.

Market regulators of the economy
2.3. Market regulators of the economy
In modern Western economic literature, the functioning of the market as a self-regulating system is justified by the rationalism of the economic behavior of subjects of market relations. Their line of behavior is revealed in rationalism. which manifests itself in the search for the most optimal ways to satisfy interests and needs. Firms, seeking to increase their own benefits, at the same time - as if guided by the “invisible hand” (A. Smith) - contribute to ensuring public interests. Firms use advanced technologies and production methods, and use the most economical combination of resources to produce a given volume of products. This behavior is in line with private benefit; at the same time, rational use of resources and reduction of costs leads to an increase in overall wealth. As a result, self-interest, encouraged and directed by the market system, ultimately ensures that society's needs are better met.
