ANNA – A Year In Review

Q&A with Sarah Tarawneh, ANNA's new Board Member

The ANNA-DTIF Task Force, in collaboration with industry stakeholders, has released an updated version of the DTI-ISIN Guide. This latest update focuses on revising the criteria for the allocation of DTI Functionally Fungible Groups (FFGs) and their relationship to XT ISINs, aiming to enhance clarity and consistency in the identification process.

“Four decades ago we were a ‘start-up’ membership association in a highly fragmented industry, driven by a clear need for standardisation. Today, we are a mature organisation and a mechanism that both industry and regulators rely on. This is the single biggest change ANNA has gone through and we don’t plan to stop here. We have the people, the skills and the experience to respond to evolving industry requirements as we set our sights on emerging developments that will benefit from expanding cross-industry collaboration efforts and standardisation.”
