This month, at the request of our UK partners, we’ve added the London Stock Exchange to our daily tracking statistics.
The year so far is showing good overall LEI issuance, with an approximate year on year growth of 25% for validated LEIs issued by RapidLEI.
In major milestone news, we expect to issue our 90,000th LEI this month – so congratulations as always to the partner network for making that happen!
