Deutsche Bundesbank — Indices of exchange rate effects in the international investment position (BBEE5)
Official time series dataset from the Deutsche Bundesbank covering indices of exchange rate effects within Germany's international investment position, published under the BBEE5 dataflow. Data is distributed via SDMX 2.1 REST, with a single endpoint offering XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON output formats. Users can retrieve specific series by key path and apply filters such as startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations. The dataset supports analysis of how currency movements affect the valuation of Germany's cross-border financial assets and liabilities, and is freely accessible without authentication.Indices of exchange rate effects in the international investment position (BBEE5) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBEE5 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
