What makes cross-border digital trade trustworthy? Before a digital signature or e-document carries weight, the parties need to know who is who and who owns whom.
GLEIF's Vikas Panwar takes that to the EU-India TTC Business Forum in New Delhi on 4 June. #DigitalTrade#LEI
The EU's European Business Wallet could let companies operate across 27 Member States on one digital identity. But inside it, the Legal Entity Identifier (#LEI) is optional, and each Member State decides whether to include it. #DigitalIdentity
Optional usually means left out. GLEIF CEO Alexandre Kech on why that's a problem: https://t.co/2rv1IFqIr6

#TradeFinance #LEI
Over 400 current and proposed regulatory activities require or recommend the use of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).
The #LEI is the open, ISO-standardized identifier maintained within the Global LEI System, a global Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI). It links reporting entities, counterparties, and transactions across jurisdictions.

Most digital identity systems verify a person. But tax filings, payments, and company registrations are made by individuals acting on behalf of a legal entity. #vLEI#DigitalIdentity
Verifying the person is only half the question. The other half: do they hold the authority to act for that company?
That is what the verifiable #LEI (vLEI) verifies.
