The July session of DataTalk examined Open Data, the importance of broadening the scope from Open Banking, and the impacts this might have on the end-consumer. The session covered key ideas such as the state of data management frameworks and the challenges to Open Banking, the outlook for implementation, and how Open Data can better serve the end-consumer. This briefing note summarizes the discussion held on July 18, 2023, respecting that the forum is conducted under the Chatham House Rule and does not represent the official position of the IIF or its membership.
