These products provide access to datasets which have very detailed information on the following: Public and private banks and insurance companies across the globe, data critical to accomplishing the agency mission. Standardized, comparable, and up to date financial data and operating credit statistics on municipal markets.

Location-specific and globally comparable climate data to navigate the financial and social impacts of climate change and identify, quantify, and manage the climate-related risks. The OFR, FSOC and DO currently use the proposed contractor’s brand name product for the continuing mission. As mandated, the mission includes the monitoring and analysis of financial institutions that pose risks to the U.S. economy, the need to monitor and analyze bank and non-banking financial institutions in terms of their concentration, operational risks, and interconnectedness, which includes the global market. To provide sufficient analysis, access is required to public and private institution data. The data is collected, transacted, and reported out to the world via reports.
