Corporate registers are more than administrative systems, they are critical public infrastructure that underpins trust, transparency, and economic activity in modern economies. Yet their true value is often underestimated. When registers are treated purely as filing repositories, governments risk underinvestment, weak data quality, and missed opportunities to strengthen markets and regulatory oversight.
In this new white paper, John Murray, Bill Clarke, and Justin Hygate draw on global experience and real-world examples to explore the true value of corporate registers. From economic impact to regulatory effectiveness, they examine how registers create value across entire ecosystems, and why investing in modern registry infrastructure is essential for the future of digital government.
What’s inside:
🔸 Why corporate registers are foundational public infrastructure
🔸 The economic value of registry data across businesses, government, and financial systems
🔸 The real cost of weak registers, from fraud to reduced investor confidence
🔸 How data quality, identity verification, and interoperability drive value
🔸 A practical framework for measuring register value through the Register Value Assessment Model (RVAM)
This paper is essential reading for registry professionals, policymakers, and digital government leaders looking to build stronger, more transparent, and more efficient economies. Registers that are modernised and properly valued can unlock significant economic and societal benefits while reinforcing trust across markets.
