Deutsche Bundesbank — Statistics on Insurance Corporations (Solvency I + II) (BBASV)
Official time series data from the Deutsche Bundesbank covering statistics on German insurance corporations under the Solvency I and Solvency II regulatory frameworks, published as the BBASV dataflow. The data is accessible via an SDMX 2.1 REST endpoint, supporting XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON output formats. Users can retrieve specific series using a key path combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters, allowing targeted extraction of relevant time series without downloading the full dataset. This resource is useful for economic and financial analysis of the German insurance sector.Statistics on Insurance Corporations (Solvency I + II) (BBASV) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBASV 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.
