Data Standardization - A Call To Action

By Robin Doyle
Managing Director
Office of Regulatory Affairs

May 02, 2018

Consistent application of financial data and reporting standards within and across jurisdictions remains an important unresolved legacy issue with risk management and financial stability implications. There is a need for the financial services industry, global regulators and other stakeholders to collaboratively build on their progress toward achieving a data standardization framework that addresses current deficiencies and allows innovative new technologies to be adopted. Establishing and implementing a common global language for financial instruments and transactions will create efficiency, reduce costs and result in the improved usability of financial data to create valuable information and manage systemic risk.

To support this effort, we believe:

  • The Financial Stability Board (FSB) should continue to promote the consistent application of global data and reporting standards like the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) across jurisdictions and monitor the progress of adoption.
  • Individual jurisdictions should evaluate their individual regulatory frameworks to promote common data standards and best practices.
  • International standard setters such as the FSB and Bank for International Settlements should regularly assess, in cooperation with other stakeholders, what additional new global data standards are needed.
  • The private sector should continue to explore opportunities to drive data standardization in market process and practices both related and unrelated to regulatory requirements.
