The joint ISDA and GFMA publication provides answers to commonly asked questions regarding the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). Several regulators around the world require or are anticipated to require that market participants obtain an LEI for transaction reporting and for other uses where clear identification of entities is needed. The publication provides information about where to go to obtain an LEI.
The publication can be used in any LEI outreach efforts. Members are encouraged to share this document with clients to highlight the need to obtain an LEI.
