“This report presents the results of the 2015 IFC survey of central banks on the use of and interest in “big data”. The aim of this survey was twofold: (i) To take stock of central banking experience in the use of big data; and (ii) To explore central banks’ interest in this topic with a view to defining a roadmap for further action. The online survey took place in early 2015. The vast majority (69) of IFC member central banks responded, representing a response rate of 83%.”
