Strong demand for LEIs

06.02.2017

Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) play an increasingly important role in the transparency debate, data standardisation and in the disclosure frameworks for financial market participants across industry sectors.

Growing demand for new LEIs is also underpinned by the most recent CSSF fund reporting requirements and European level regulations in view of increasing the safety of financial markets. As part of the implementation of CSDR, customers of CSDs, including issuers, will have to supply their CSD with LEIs.
