The sharing of micro data – a central bank perspective

There has been a growing recognition by the international community of the need for improved data-sharing in the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis (GFC). In 2015, the second phase of the G20 Data Gaps initiative (DGI) was launched and included a specific Recommendation (II.20) on the promotion of data-sharing. Among the various action plans set up to implement this recommendation, the BIS was invited to update the IFC survey of data-sharing practices between statistical and supervisory authorities, following up on the initial 2015 IFC Report. 

The result is the present survey, which focuses on the sharing of micro data among the wider range of national and international bodies in general.
