DatasetExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇩🇪Germany

Short-term economic indicators classified by economic sector (BBDE1) is an official time series dataset published by the Deutsche Bundesbank, Germany's central bank. It forms part of the Bundesbank's statistical time series databases and is distributed as the BBDE1 dataflow via the SDMX 2.1 REST API. A single endpoint can return data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, or JSON formats, selected through a format parameter. Users can retrieve specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters, allowing targeted extraction of economic indicator data by sector for analysis of national economic trends and price developments.Short-term economic indicators (classified by economic sector) (BBDE1) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBDE1 dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csv) and JSON (?format=json); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters.
