Abstract
This guidance note focuses on the regulatory implications that the deployment of distributed ledger technology (DLT) entails for secured transactions and collateral registry (STCR) frameworks. In particular, it examines the regulatory regimes applicable to three DLT-STCR outputs: (i) the use of digital assets implementing DLT as collateral, (ii) the application of DLT in platforms supporting secondary markets for the valuation and disposal of collateral, and (iii) the application of DLT in collateral registries.

Publication Distributed Ledger Technology and Secured Transactions(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-05)This Guidance Paper provides a primer on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and highlights the junctures at which this new technology meaningfully impacts secured transactions frameworks. The aim is to identify legal and regulatory hotspots, laying the groundwork for their detailed and exhaustive analysis, which is carried out in the two companion papers (Collateral Registry, Secured Transactions Law and Practice in the Age of Distributed Ledger Technology and Regulatory Implications of Integrating Distributed Ledger Technology in Secured Transactions Frameworks).Publication Distributed Ledger Technology and Secured Transactions(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-05)This Guidance Note examines the potential of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) within the context of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Secured Transactions. While this model is the primary reference, the Guidance Note also provides examples from domestic secured transactions frameworks, especially where the analysis leads to a different result. It examines these issues from different perspectives, including those of policy makers and legislators but also secured creditors and borrowers. It should be a useful tool not only for stakeholders in economies that contemplate undertaking secured transactions but also for those engaged in secured transactions where DLT plays some role, such as a loan applicant proposing to use as collateral her digital asset for which the secured transactions law does not contain any specific provisions.Publication Payment Systems Worldwide - A Snapshot : Outcomes of the Global Payment Systems Survey 2010(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2011)Global survey outcomes presented in this publication are divided into two main sections: Chapters I through VIII analyze the survey results and identify trends using various variable for cross-country comparisons. In addition to worldwide totals, three broad country characteristics exogenous to payment system development are used as a basis for comparisons: i) level of per capita income; ii) geographical location; iii) population size. Details of the methodology used for the analysis are covered in the Methodological Note. The Appendix contains the full set of countryby- country answers to each of the questions included in the questionnaire.Publication Financial Sector Assessment Program Update : Saudi Arabia - Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2011-09)This assessment of Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency's (SAMA) compliance with the basel committee's core principles for effective banking supervision was conducted by a mission to Saudi Arabia during April 9-20, 2011. The assessment was carried out as part of a Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) update undertaken by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank at the request of the Saudi authorities. The authorities requested that the assessment of compliance be conducted using only the essential criteria in the methodology. This assessment was based on a review of laws, regulations, policies and practices in place at the time. The financial system is subject to risks reflecting the openness of the economy and dependence on the hydrocarbon sector, as well as the size of the market. Saudi Arabia implements International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for banks and insurance companies and is served by the major accounting firms. There has been no need to provide emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) to any bank in recent years. The conditions in which SAMA will provide ELA would be determined on a case-by-case basis, as will the terms on which such ELA will be provided.Publication Blockchain in Financial Services in Emerging Markets, Part I(International Finance Corporation, Washington, DC, 2017-08)Financial institutions around the world find themselves continually barraged by external innovations they are often unable to absorb and internalize. The emergence of innovative digital financial technologies has challenged traditional players in the sector by demonstrating new ways to deliver value across the entire financial value chain. Blockchain, or distributed ledger technology, is just such a disruptive, and possibly game-changing, innovation. Emerging markets are in general characterized by low banking penetration, the exit of financial players from certain markets, strong demand for financial inclusion both from individual consumers and small businesses, high levels of mobile penetration, and less developed business infrastructure and financial sector incumbents. These conditions in combination can be a powerful catalyst for the adoption of blockchain-based financial solutions and can provide the basis for a technological leap forward and a boost to financial inclusion and growth.

Publication Comparative Analysis of AI-Predicted and Crowdsourced Food Prices in an Economically Volatile Region(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-04-23)High-frequency monitoring of food commodity prices is important for assessing and responding to shocks, especially in fragile contexts where timely and targeted interventions for food security are critical. However, national price surveys are typically limited in temporal and spatial granularity. It is cost prohibitive to implement traditional data collection at frequent timescales to unravel spatiotemporal price evolution across market segments and at subnational geographic levels. Recent advancements in data innovation offer promising solutions to address the paucity of commodity price data and guide market intelligence for diverse development stakeholders. The use of artificial intelligence to estimate missing price data and a parallel effort to crowdsource commodity price data are both unlocking cost-effective opportunities to generate actionable price data. Yet, little is known about how the data from these alternative methods relate to independent ground truth data. To evaluate if these data strategies can meet the long-standing demand for real-time intelligence on food affordability, this paper analyzes open-source daily crowdsourced data (104,931 datapoints) from a recently published data set in Nature Journal, relative to complementary ground truth sample. The paper subsequently compares these data to open-source monthly artificial intelligence–generated price data for identical commodities over a 36-month period in northern Nigeria, from 2019 to 2022. The results show that all the data sources share a high degree of comparability, with variation across commodity and market segments. Overall, the findings provide important support for leveraging these new and innovative data approaches to enable data-driven decision-making in near real time.Publication Distributed Ledger Technology and Secured Transactions(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-05)This Guidance Paper provides a primer on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and highlights the junctures at which this new technology meaningfully impacts secured transactions frameworks.

As such, it poorly describes price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations may reside in fragile situations. Traditional price data collection also follows a deliberate sampling and measurement process that is not well suited for monitoring during crisis situations, when price stability may deteriorate rapidly. To gain real-time insights beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods, this paper develops a machine-learning approach for imputation of ongoing subnational price surveys. The aim is to monitor inflation at the market level, relying only on incomplete and intermittent survey data. The capabilities are highlighted using World Food Programme surveys in 25 fragile and conflict-affected countries where real-time monthly food price data are not publicly available from official sources. The results are made available as a data set that covers more than 1200 markets and 43 food types. The local statistics provide a new granular view on important inflation events, including the World Food Price Crisis of 2007–08 and the surge in global inflation following the 2020 pandemic. The paper finds that imputations often achieve accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The estimates may provide new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in markets where prices are sensitive to localized shocks and traditional data are not available.
