ICMA Webinar: Introducing ICMA’s Bond Data Taxonomy 2.0: What’s New and What It Means for the Market
This session provided an overview of the market developments that led to the update of ICMA's Bond Data Taxonomy (BDT), 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 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.
