EMIR REFIT, a vital component of the European Commission’s “Better Regulation” initiative, aims to enhance transparency, mitigate risk, and streamline reporting obligations in financial markets.
Under EMIR REFIT, significant changes have been made to reporting obligations, alongside tighter controls and standardization measures. Notably, the number of reporting fields has increased from 129 to 203, while the format of data transmission will now adhere to the ISO 20022-XML standard. These changes emphasize the EU’s commitment to strengthening market resilience and reducing systemic risk.
One crucial aspect of EMIR REFIT compliance revolves around Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs). Financial institutions are mandated to ensure timely renewal of LEIs associated with their counterparties. This necessitates proactive management to prevent trading disruptions due to lapsed LEIs.
To help organizations in meeting these new requirements, we are excited to introduce our LEI Watchlist Service. Tailored for banks, asset managers, and large organizations, our service offers a comprehensive solution to easily comply with the EMIR REFIT.
