Deutsche Bundesbank — AUSTA - Foreign branches (BBBEK2)
AUSTA – Foreign branches (BBBEK2) is an official time series dataset published by the Deutsche Bundesbank as part of its statistics on foreign branches of German banks. It is distributed as the BBBEK2 dataflow via an SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint, with data available in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats. Users can query specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters, allowing targeted extraction of time series data rather than downloading the full dataset. It forms part of the Bundesbank's broader time series database covering national economic and financial statistics.AUSTA - Foreign branches (BBBEK2) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBBEK2 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
