The birth of BCBS 239 is a set of principles aimed at strengthening bank's risk aggregation and risk reporting practices, primarily in response to the financial crisis in 2007/2008. The crisis was partly caused by banks' inability to effectively report risk, leading to a breakdown in risk management. To address this, the principles aim to improve decision-making capabilities by enhancing management of information across legal entities, including the speed at which information is available. However, implementing these principles poses significant challenges due to the existence of data silos and the need for IT systems to move at the speed of business. Technology plays a crucial role in making this effort successful, particularly with advances in NoSQL databases such as Couchbase, which can help integrate and unify data from different silos, improve data quality, ensure availability, and facilitate dashboards that provide real-time views of risk exposure.
