European Central Bank — Banking structural statistical indicators (SSI)
Banking structural statistical indicators (SSI) is an official time series dataset published by the European Central Bank via its Data Portal, as the SSI dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. A single endpoint serves data as XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csvdata), and JSON (?format=jsondata), allowing extraction of specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted directly on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset covers euro area banking sector structural indicators and is intended for statistical and economic analysis.Banking structural statistical indicators (SSI) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the SSI dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
