European Central Bank — Indicators of Financial Integration (IFI)
Indicators of Financial Integration (IFI) is an official time series dataset published by the European Central Bank via its Data Portal, distributed as the IFI dataflow over the SDMX 2.1 REST API. A single endpoint serves data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats, allowing users to extract specific series using a key path together with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset covers indicators tracking financial integration across the euro area and European Union, relevant for economic and financial market analysis.Indicators of Financial Integration (IFI) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the IFI dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST. One endpoint serves XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (?format=csvdata) and JSON (?format=jsondata); extract exactly the series you need with a key path and startPeriod / endPeriod / lastNObservations filters. Browse and chart the same series on the ECB Data Portal.
