Reference data plays a crucial role in financial trading. It includes data such as financial instrument identifiers, market data, currency codes, and regulatory classifications. Despite the dynamic nature of financial trades, reference data provides the necessary static information to execute and settle transactions. Industry estimates suggest that approximately 70% of the data used in financial transactions is reference data, underscoring its importance in the financial sector.
