Andrew’s Blog – LEIs: From Inspiration to Perspiration

Back on the long and winding road towards the introduction of legal entity identifiers (LEIs) and the Financial Stability Board has delivered on its promise of appointing “a small number of experts to a private sector panel advising an FSB LEI Expert Group of key stakeholders from the global regulatory community taking forward work on the LEI initiative”.

Andrew’s Blog – The Inside Track on LEI

I love to be on the inside track, probably because it happens so rarely, and so I am sorely tempted to answer the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) call for volunteers to participate in the private-sector LEI advisory panel that the industry group announced earlier this week. In fact, I haven’t felt quite so tempted since one of our reference data friends suggested I run for the managing directorship of the EDM Council.

But in that case – and most likely in this FSB one – my initial enthusiasm is dashed by two factors: 1) Grandad’s wise words (“Never volunteer for anything, son.”) and, 2) the use of the word ‘Expert’.

Panel Agrees LEI Standards and Infrastructure are Likely to Face Some Delays, CFTC Deadline is First Milestone

A lot of progress may have been achieved this year with regards to moving towards a new legal entity identification (LEI) standard, including getting the G20 to pay attention to the work that has happened thus far (see more on which here), but once the initiative reaches the implementation stage there are likely to be some delays, agreed a panel at this month’s FIMA conference in London. Elaborating on the challenges ahead, panellists including the European Central Bank’s (ECB) head of external statistics Francis Gross and Swift’s LEI implementation lead Sven Bossu, indicated that the intention is to have the new ISO standard published by January and a number of “lengthy discussions” have already taken place with regards to the issuance process and governance.

Virginie’s Blog – Making Threats and Opportunities

This week’s FIMA conference in London as usual saw industry practitioners discussing their recurring bugbears – IP rights within the vendor community, a lack of budget for more strategic data management projects (outside of those tied to compliance) and coping with the cost cutting exercises sweeping the financial services community – but it also involved a number of very interesting ideas being aired with regards to potential collaborative approaches in the data management space.
