Spatial financeWhere capital meets hazard, exposure and transition
Data engineering for regulation
Data engineering turns reporting templates, registers and disclosures into data that can be compared and trusted. In financial regulation it covers data dictionaries, identifiers, taxonomies and lineage, and it decides whether supervisors and researchers can see risk across firms and borders.
What data engineering, interoperability and stewardship does here.
Data engineering, interoperability and stewardship cover the pipelines, standards and governance that make data usable and trustworthy. They determine whether information from different sectors can be combined for joint risk assessment. In financial stability, governance and institutions and capital markets and investment, sound data engineering allows hazard, exposure and financial data to be linked consistently. It supports transparent and repeatable analysis of interconnected risk. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.
Mapping templates to a common model
Reporting templates from different regimes are mapped to a shared data dictionary so that concepts such as exposure and default are reconciled before aggregation.
Entity resolution with identifiers
Legal entity identifiers and parent relationships link exposures to the same counterparty group across reports, registers and countries.
Machine-readable rulebooks
Rules and validation checks are expressed as structured data so that firms and authorities apply the same logic, and changes can be traced.
03Scenario model
Policy paths and what they do to the risk.
How three families of instruments change a risk outcome over time with adoption lags, coverage and compliance, the policy scenarios behind transition and physical risk assessments. Scenario: named assumptions about the future, not a forecast.

05Exposure, loss and capital
What data engineering for regulation means for exposure, loss and capital.
The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.
