On the 5th of December, the Bank of England and FCA announced plans to tackle this issue with a focus on industry standards.

Can UK Standards Finally Clean Up Its Dirty Windows?

The Bank of England has a massive data problem: 455 million errors every single day. On 05 December, the Bank of England and FCA unveiled a plan to tackle this challenge by leaning on industry standards. This approach has potential, but without action, it risks becoming just another talking point.

While the US and EU forge ahead — rewriting reporting regimes, building unified data dictionaries, and deploying machine-readable reporting — the UK remains stuck in meetings and recommendations. What’s missing? Clear action plans, concrete deadlines, and committed budgets to transform ideas into reality.

If we want to lead, we must move from discussion to decisive execution. Now is the time to make meaningful progress. Have ideas for how the UK can seize the opportunity we describe here? Reply and let us know what you think.
