Overview
ICMA hosted a webinar on 17 June to provide an overview of version 2.0 of the Bond Data Taxonomy (BDT), following its release on 27 April.
The session provided an overview of the market developments that led to the update, including the growing number of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and traditional finance solutions adopting the BDT across the bond market. It also considered the increasing regulatory focus on standardisation and the key topics raised by ICMA’s Primary Market Innovation Project.
Additionally, the webinar guided participants through the new materials supporting the BDT, including a newly structured reference sheet and Frequently Asked Questions document. It also outlined the new and expanded coverage of version 2.0 as well as implementation scenarios.
Ultimately, the BDT aims to facilitate digitalisation, promote interoperability, and increase efficiency across the bond market.
Learn more about BDT 2.0 and how to leverage it for digitalisation processes from issuance, trading, settlement and distribution of debt securities.
