The SWIFT institute’s research in 2014 will focus on standards, big data, network liquidity effects and the unit cost of financial services.
Research topics will include financial data standards, macroprudential oversight, the unsecured interbank lending market, network liquidity effects, the unit cost of financial services, regulatory compliance and gender diversity in financial services.
The research is conducted by academics and senior professionals from across the industry and will be available on the company’s website.
Launched in April 2012, the SWIFT Institute fosters independent research to extend the understanding of current practices and future needs across the financial industry.
Managed by SWIFT, and working in close collaboration with academics from top international universities, the SWIFT Institute brings the financial industry and academia together to explore ideas and share knowledge on topics of global importance.
Peter Ware, director of the SWIFT Institute, said: “SWIFT is uniquely placed to bring thought leadership and strategic thinking to the financial services industry. Through the SWIFT Institute we have made great strides in achieving this goal and will continue to do so with new research in 2014 related to the reduction of risk and cost, as well as ongoing regulatory changes, amongst other topics. Our aim is to help the global financial community better understand and deal with the challenges it is facing both through new research and greater dialogue at events.”
