Abstract

Como respuesta a la crisis financiera iniciada en 2008, el Consejo de Estabilidad Financiera (FSB) puso en marcha un sistema mundial de registro de personas jurídicas. La iniciativa aspiraba a crear un código de identificación único para cada una de las entidades que operan en los mercados financieros, denominado en inglés código LEI (Legal Entity Identifier), y a mantener tales códigos actualizados. Este documento repasa la historia del proceso de constitución del sistema que gestiona este nuevo código, así como su gobernanza y regulación. Se analizan los beneficios, límites y retos que representa crear un sistema mundial de identificación de agentes que debe estar operativo en mercados y jurisdicciones con diferentes normativas mercantiles y usos en la gestión de este tipo de información. En este sentido, debe destacarse que la existencia de registros administrativos públicos donde se identifiquen las sociedades no constituye un estándar en muchos países, lo que afecta a la calidad y cobertura que puede alcanzarse con un código único mundial como el LEI.
