Global data

Data on enforcement of financial regulation

GEFI seeks to collect and publish data to enable statistical comparison and evaluation of enforcement actions by authorities in different jurisdictions worldwide. The GEFI data capture three main attributes of enforcement actions: the entities that were object of sanctions (targets), the sanctions imposed (measures) and the set of rules breached (topic).

The original dataset collected in the framework of the research project “Drivers, Actors and Trends: Global Enforcement against the Financial Industry“, was funded by the Swiss National Fund and directed by Roy Gava and Urs Zulauf at the “Centre for banking and financial law” at the University of Geneva from 2019 until 2022.

The data for selected jurisdictions will be updated and progressively made available in this section from January 2026.
