European Central Bank — Statistics on Consolidated Banking Data (CBD)
Consolidated Banking Data (CBD) is an official time series dataset published by the European Central Bank through its Data Portal, covering banking sector statistics across EU member states. The data is distributed as the CBD dataflow via the SDMX 2.1 REST API, with a single endpoint serving XML (SDMX-ML), CSV and JSON formats. Users can extract specific series using a key path combined with startPeriod, endPeriod, or lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal, making the dataset suitable for both programmatic access and visual exploration of banking statistics.Statistics on Consolidated Banking Data (CBD) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the CBD 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.
