Surveys and Databases
ECRI Survey and Database on Banking Codes of Conduct
The European Credit Research Institute has published both a Survey on Banking Codes of Conducts as well as the complementary tool, the Database on Banking Codes of Conduct.
ECRI Data Protection Observatory
The Data Protection Observatory provides you with an up to date overview of data protection acts around the world (data protection laws only, not credit reporting regulation). As above, we maintain 100 countries in the database, although not all of them do have data protection acts. The database displays the title of the law (or if a bill is under review in the country it provides the title of the bill if it was available).
ECRI Credit Reporting Observatory
This database provides you with an up to date overview of laws that are applicable to credit reporting in 100 countries. These laws might either be general data protection laws or laws that are tailored to the credit reporting industry. Of the 100 countries maintained in the database for comparative purposes, approximately 40 have laws in effect. The database gives the year of enactment, the legal status (as of 2005), the title of the act, and the online source where you may find the law.
ECRI Banking Law Observatory
This database provides you with an overview of banking laws in 100 countries. It reflects the legal status of these laws as of 2005. It also gives the year of enactment, the title, the legal status and the online source where you may find the law. For purposes of comparison (and copying) with other databases provided below, we have included at the beginning some lines for international organisations (such OECD, EU) which do not contain data on banking regulation.
Access is free for ECRI members.
ECRI Public Credit Registry Observatory
This database provides you with an overview of the existence and the names of public credit registers (PCRs) around the world. As above, we maintain 100 countries in the database, although not all of them do have public registers. This database is still under development (status: April 2006). It presents the names of the PCRs, the authority in charge for the PCR, among other information. If you are aware of any changes in this area, please notify us of them. Access is free for ECRI members.
