November 8, 2021The Association of National Numbering Agencies : 40 Years of ISIN
by Emma Kalliomaki MD of ANNA, and Executive Director and ANNA Secretariat Uwe Meyer
This week sees the 40th anniversary of the ISIN, the International Securities Identification Number. The ISIN is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard, ISO 6166, uniquely identifying financial and referential instruments. It has been developed by industry under rigorous processes to become the globally adopted, common language of financial instruments processing. The ISIN is used around the world, and there are now more than 79 million ISINs and related information available, helping to harmonise financial and referential instrument information.

November 1, 2021Celebrating 40 Years of a global, common language of financial instruments processing
London, 1st November 2021 – The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA), a global association dedicated to the support of efficient capital markets through the use of widely embraced International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, today announced the 40th anniversary of the ISIN, the International Securities Identification Number, used to uniquely identify financial and referential instruments.

October 28, 2021Conversation on the History of ISIN, with Executive Director and ANNA Secretariat Uwe Meyer
Question: Can you give us some background on the history of how the ISIN was established?
Uwe Meyer: Right up to the 1980s, all countries were doing their own coding and nothing was matching up. The first conversation started with a group of experts, discussing the need for coordination on data standards around securities identification at the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO). It was four or five jurisdictions at the time, who began the discussions.

October 22, 2021Why are digital assets important and relevant for ANNA?
The market capitalisation of cryptocurrencies, the primary digital assets that have become mainstream, currently stands above USD 2 trillion. Although this is relatively small compared to the total market cap of global markets (around USD 117 trillion), cryptocurrencies have become an asset class which has captured the attention of both retail and institutional investors.

July 6, 2021What is gradually becoming clear amidst the ups and downs of the cryptoworld is that not all digital assets are created equal. Dogecoin, the ‘dog’ meme cryptocurrency that started as a joke in 2013, has seen its value increase by more than 13,000% in the past four months thanks in part to Elon Musk’s tweets of support. Things are not looking as positive for Ripple, however, as the payments settlement system and cryptocurrency (XRP) faces a lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) arguing that XRP is a security, rather than a commodity or other type of asset. Further legal challenges involving Bitfinex and Tether were spearheaded by The New York Attorney General’s office (NYAG) who charged that the parent company commingled client and corporate funds to cover up $850 million that went missing.

December 16, 2020Fractional Ownership: How to bag your ultimate luxury gift
If you’re wondering what to buy your loved ones for the holiday season and want to really splash out, why not own a slice of a priceless artwork, a classic sports car, or even a thoroughbred racehorse. Too far-fetched? Think again. Now there are ways that everyday people can purchase extraordinary things - only in the form of a minority stake mind you. This is called fractional ownership, and the idea is taking off especially amongst the younger generations.

The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA), a global member association seeking to foster standardisation within the financial industry by upholding the ISO principles and by promoting International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs), Classification of Financial Instrument codes (CFIs), and Financial Instrument Short Names (FISN), for financial and referential instruments, announced today that additional jurisdictions have been added to the open-source relationship files provided through the certified ISIN-to-LEI mapping service. This certified initiative, which ANNA has undertaken with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), maps ISINs to their corresponding Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs).

December 9, 2020The global race to develop a central bank digital currency: Considerations for the securities industry
“The speed of innovation in payments and money-related technologies requires the prioritisation of collaborative experimentation,” the BIS pointed out in a recent press release announcing its first central bank digital currency (CBDC) report written by seven central banks and the BIS setting out their key requirements. It was only ten days later, Reuters reported that China had concluded its largest pilot project to date for a central bank-backed digital yuan. As competition heats up between countries in the global race to develop a CBDC, how, in turn, can the ecosystem around investable assets prepare?
-
December 2, 2020As we observe the boom and evolution of digital assets, there is no doubt that key market infrastructures have homework to do. And rightly so, given that proper consideration needs to be given to the impacts and challenges related to the development of the digital asset sector. This is especially important given the fact that there is not yet a fully developed, end-to-end infrastructure to take a tokenised asset through the whole of its lifecycle.
-
October 29, 2020Market trends are pointing towards greater acceptance of digital assets as a new investable asset class. A survey by Fidelity Digital Assets shows that 91% of respondents who are open to exposure to digital assets expect to have at least 0.5% of their portfolio allocated to the new investable asset class. In addition, we continue to see the likes of Societe General and Santander settle multiple bond issuances on blockchain technology, The World Bank supporting a $100m bond issuance, and BTG Pactual tokenizing their REIT structures while testing their own network. We see this as evidence of the transition into security tokens, particularly in the bond space.
-
October 1, 2020During the past few pandemic-filled months, the implementation of business continuity plans has proved to have been of critical importance to organisations. COVID-19 has instigated periods of volatility for financial markets, meaning the National Numbering Agencies (the organisations in each country responsible for issuing International Securities Identification Numbers (ISIN)) have had to work tirelessly to maintain seamless support to their market participants. ANNA has also been kept busy during these unprecedented times, and we thought we should take this opportunity to give you a brief update on our recent priorities.

September 18, 2020Best Reference Data Newcomer (Vendor or Product)
ANNA and GLEIF
A collaboration between the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) and the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) takes home the award for Best Reference Data Newcomer. The two organizations have responsibility for some of the international standards used in the global financial community: ANNA represents the national numbering agencies (NNAs) that allocate the International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) for securities issued in their local jurisdictions, while GLEIF is responsible for the legal entity identifier (LEI) at the issuer level. In April 2019, the two bodies launched a new service linking ISINs and LEIs, with the data published free on GLEIF’s website.

January 13, 2020Digital assets are emerging as a new investment class.

October 23, 2019to assess benefits of common standard identifiers
The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA), a global member association seeking to foster standardisation within the financial industry by upholding the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) principles and by promoting International Securities Identification Numbers, ISINs, and Classification of Financial Instrument codes, CFIs, and Financial Instrument Short Names, FISN, for financial instruments, announce a new Technology Taskforce (TF-22) on Digital Assets.

-
July 16, 2019The use of Classification of Financial Instrument (CFI) codes has gained momentum since the increase in scope of MiFID II requiring the reporting of CFIs for OTC derivatives. Scrutiny from regulators has likewise increased with Competent Authorities frequently questioning users on their CFI data reporting. Regulators are keen to put their newfound reporting data to good use and utilise the collected information for analytical purposes, yet the key focus is to ensure that accurate data is submitted in order for them to do so. This consistency of data is not only important for regulators, but for firms that are becoming increasingly aware of the critical value of efficiently aggregating data for their own evaluation and positioning purposes.

June 14, 2019The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) is a global member association seeking to foster standardisation within the financial industry by upholding the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) principles and by promoting ISIN, FISN and CFI codes for financial instruments.

-
April 12, 2019Chief Risk Officers are keen to stem losses linked to operational risk, as well as minimising the costs involved in managing the all-important mountain of data that financial institutions find themselves sitting on. One way to reduce operational friction in this area is by reducing risk and potential conflict around the standards used to identify financial instruments. It is imperative that these unique instrument identifiers remain truly standardised across all Capital Market borders and consistently aligned so as to either avoid delays in settlement, or costly risk-laden results in data inconsistencies and operational challenges.
