Our Team:

Bloomberg runs on data, and in the Data team we're responsible for acquiring and providing key regulatory data to our clients. We collect, analyse, process and publish the data which is the backbone of our iconic Bloomberg Terminal - the facts and figures which ultimately move the financial markets. Reference data for regulatory reporting plays an ever-increasing role in our clients’ workflows, and the Data team fulfils an important function in supporting Bloomberg users with regulatory change. We analyze regulation, determine the reference data needs, and make this data available on the Terminal in order to support the regulatory reporting needs of our clients. We are the cornerstone of several of Bloomberg’s regulatory solutions.
