Bloomberg Introduces New Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI) Mapping Tools and an Online Request Utility.
In order to give exchanges, data providers, custodians, and other organizations direct access to a variety of tools for locating, mapping, and requesting the Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI), Bloomberg today announced the launch of OpenFIGI.com and the OpenFIGI API. Organizations will be able to seek identifiers for new securities, search for existing FIGIs, and cross-reference, or map, FIGIs to other third-party identifiers with the aid of these new web-based tools.
