From the Director

The Office of Financial Research (OFR) is one of the offices involved in this effort and collaborates with other standards-setting organizations on the development, adoption, and use of data standards. As part of this initiative, OFR works with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Accredited Standards Committee X9 Inc. (X9) to develop financial-data standards for digital identities, digital assets, and distributed-ledger technologies.

Following my confirmation in 2019, our Office of Financial Research (OFR) initiated an all staff effort to fulfill our Dodd-Frank responsibilities. While our mission is simple, it is incredibly important. That is, further financial stability through high-quality financial data, standards, and analysis, principally in support of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and its members.

Reviewing my first year as Director of the Office of Financial Research (OFR or Office), I am proud of the consequential work that our team has accomplished. However, we are not done yet and I am confident that our path forward will continue to find OFR leading the development and advancement of research insights and data services for the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC).
