INTERBOLSA’s recommendation regarding the LEI Code
The LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) Code was created following a recommendation from the G20, with the aim of identify, clearly and unequivocally, all legal entities that intervene in financial transactions, in any jurisdiction.
The LEI Code is already a requirement foreseen and required in European Union directives and regulations.
INTERBOLSA, as National Numbering Agency and a member of ANNA – Association of National Numbering Agencies, recommends, based on the Guidelines for the assigning of ISIN codes, that all entities with securities for which an ISIN code has been assigned, be identified by a LEI Code .
The EURONEXT Group, of which INTERBOLSA is a member, has a duly accredited entity for issuing these codes, Euronext Dublin.
