[[fxdemo:01-part:start | Go to Top ]]

**Discussion:**

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:monetary_ecosystem|Monetary Ecosystem]] identifies the major financial activity area concerned with money, currency, exchange, payment, settlement, liquidity, and monetary obligations.

Within the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:finance_ecosphere|Finance Ecosphere]], the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:monetary_ecosystem|Monetary Ecosystem]] provides the parent classification for financial [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:domain|Domain]]s involving currency-denominated obligations, settlement flows, exchange relationships, payment instructions, liquidity events, or monetary value transfers.

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:monetary_ecosystem|Monetary Ecosystem]] provides the classification context for the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:foreign_exchange_domain|Foreign Exchange Domain]] and may also provide context for other monetary domains introduced in later work.

**Definition:**

//[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:ecosystem|Ecosystem]] within the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:finance_ecosphere|Finance Ecosphere]] covering money, currency, exchange, payment, settlement, liquidity, and monetary obligations//

**Source:**

Adapted from the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:archetype|Archetype]] Classification Model defined in Section 5 and from the original FX Demo [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]] classification material; generalised for the Financial Systems Archetype conceptual layer.

**Note:**

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:monetary_ecosystem|Monetary Ecosystem]] is not a payment network, currency system, central bank system, settlement platform, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Plane]], or deployment environment.

**Example:**

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:foreign_exchange_domain|Foreign Exchange Domain]] and Commercial Paper may be treated as [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:domain|Domain]]s within the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:monetary_ecosystem|Monetary Ecosystem]] when the document set formally defines those classifications.
