Datasets

This section presents a selection of datasets I have developed over the past years, stemming from a comprehensive data collection initiative that began in 2017. The project aims to consolidate information on climate-related financial policies that were previously unavailable or scattered across diverse sources.

For detailed information and access, please visit my my GitHub account.

Pandemic-related financial policies in G20 countries

(Last updated: December 2021)

This database compiles pandemic-related prudential policies implemented in response to COVID-19, drawing from three key sources:

  • The IMF database “Policy Responses to COVID-19”
  • The World Bank “COVID-19 Pandemic: A Database of Policy Responses Related to the Financial Sector”
  • The “COVID-19 Financial Response Tracker” developed by the Yale Program on Financial Stability

The focus is on policies adopted by G20 countries between March and December 2020. Through a systematic review of these sources, 737 data points were collected.

The database provides detailed information on:

  • Country and region
  • Income level
  • Start and end dates of policies (when available)
  • Policy descriptions
  • Source references

This resource was developed as part of the research presented in the paper:
“Addressing Climate-Related Financial Risks and Enhancing Financial Resilience in a Post-Pandemic Framework: A Review of Existing Policies and Future Perspectives.”

The database is publicly accessible here.
