Abstract: The legal entity identifier (LEI) emerged after the financial crisis in a combined effort between the industry and public authorities. This new data standard allows regulators and market participants to better understand counterparty exposures and support risk management decisions. Until now, regulatory compliance has been a key driver for adoption. This paper highlights the operational challenges to a faster and broader adoption of the LEI across the financial industry.
