The Association for Promotion of Financial Data Utilization
(Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takuro Okada, hereinafter referred to as “the Association”) has announced its New Year’s impressions for 2023.
New Year’s remarks
I would like to send my New Year’s greetings.
In Japan’s financial industry, digitalization is progressing and the positioning of channels is changing significantly. I feel that we have entered a new normal era where not only stores but also digital channels are taken for granted.
Along with these changes, the amount of data held by financial institutions has increased dramatically, and it has become
increasingly important to understand customer trends and needs in a data-driven manner. . In addition, as technologies such as AI and data science have become commonplace, we have entered a practical phase where not only the novelty of the technology is attracting attention, but also whether the technology can be used to solve customer problems. did.
The Association for Promotion of Financial Data Utilization started its external activities in June last year with the mission of “updating the possibilities of people and organizations with financial data.” After that, the number of members exceeded 100 in half a year, and four committees (Planning and Publishing Committee, Data Competition Committee, Standardization Committee, and Public Relations Committee) were established as the pillars of activities, and about 60 people were core members. I was appointed as a member of the committee. More than 1,000 people have participated in the study sessions and Meetups held over the past six months. Last year was a year in which the foundation for the activities of the Association was established and exchanges across the boundaries of the financial industry became more active.
This year, we will deepen various initiatives based on the three pillars of “contributing to the development of AI and data utilization human resources,” “organizational standardization of financial data utilization,” and “establishment of industry standards for data utilization.”
Regarding the first pillar, “Contributing to the development of human resources who utilize AI and data,” we held the first “Data Analysis Competition Across the Financial Industry” using artificial data that is close to the actual practice at financial institutions in Japan. increase. In addition, we plan to publish a book that brings together the practical know-how of data scientists at each financial
institution. Through these activities, we will contribute to the creation of an environment where it is easy to learn for those who want to start data science at financial institutions.
With regard to the second pillar, “organizational standardization of financial data utilization,” a committee composed of experts representing the financial industry and experts with high-level expertise plays a central role in establishing standards for organizations that should utilize financial data. We will formulate After enactment, we will use this check sheet to conduct fixed-point observations of the status of data utilization organizations at each financial institution, thereby raising the level of data utilization in the financial industry as a whole.
Regarding the third pillar, “establishment of industry standards for data utilization,” the success stories of association members have been summarized as “industry standards for financial data utilization” so that financial institutions can refer to them when they start using data. , we will work to expand horizontally within the industry. By establishing data utilization standards for these three pillars, that is, human resources, organizations, and use cases in the financial industry, we will create an environment in which each person working at financial institutions can play an active role,
contributing to the development of the financial industry and society as a whole. I am confident that we can.
To that end, we will not only strengthen activities in which members of our association cooperate with each other, but also increase activities that are specialized for each industry and generation, and further revitalize the place where members can solve problems. We will measure. In addition, we would like to continue exchanging information with related ministries and organizations, including the Digital Agency and the Financial Services Agency, and support the creation of a new society and economy.
