Deutsche Bundesbank — MFI interest rate statistics (BBIM1)
BBIM1 is a Deutsche Bundesbank time series dataflow providing official statistics on MFI (monetary financial institution) interest rates in Germany. Data is served through an SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint, with output available in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON formats. Users can retrieve specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters. The dataset supports economic and financial analysis of bank lending and deposit rates, and is part of the Bundesbank's broader collection of statistical time series databases.MFI interest rate statistics (BBIM1) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBIM1 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
