BSI statistics are based on either the aggregated or the consolidated balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions (MFI) sector. The aggregated balance sheet is the sum of the balance sheets of all MFIs resident in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet is obtained by netting the aggregated balance sheet positions between MFIs in the euro area. The consolidated balance sheet provides the basis for the regular analysis of euro area monetary aggregates and counterparts.

The Main aggregates in the national accounts (MNA dataset) include gross domestic product (GDP), value added by main economic activity, main expenditure components and aggregated income statistics. These data are collected and disseminated by the European Commission (Eurostat) and the national statistical authorities. The MNA dataset also includes additional indicators calculated by the ECB, such as implicit GDP deflators, contributions to growth, unit labour costs and its components (compensation per employee and labour productivity), as well as business investment. Data for the euro area, EU and the EU Member States are available.

The dataset contains the balance of payments (b.o.p.) and the international investment position (i.i.p.) of the euro area compiled by the ECB, as well as European union aggregates compiled by Eurostat and individual EU country data.

The different accounts within the b.o.p. are distinguished according to the nature of the economic resources (e.g. goods, services, income or financial resources) provided and received. The i.i.p. is a statistical statement that shows, at a specific point in time, the value and composition of financial assets of residents of an economy that are claims on non-residents and gold bullion held as reserve assets and liabilities of residents of an economy to non-residents; The current account and capital account main components are broken down by counterpart countries. Financial transactions and positions are presented by type of investment, resident and counterpart sector, type of instrument and country of residency of the counterpart

As of 4 February 2026 onwards, the euro area HICP inflation will undergo major methodological changes, according to the announcement by Eurostat. On the same day, the ECB will also discontinue the current Indices of Consumer Prices - ICP dataset on the ECB Data Portal and replace it with a new HICP dataset that will accurately reflect the methodological changes by Eurostat.The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area is published by the European Commission (Eurostat) and generally available from 1996 onwards for aggregates; product-level indices might start later. Euro area results are obtained by aggregating indices for individual countries.The HICP is broken down following the European classification of individual consumption according to purpose (ECOICOP v. 2) and by goods and services special aggregates derived from it. The HICP covers monetary expenditure on final consumption by resident and non-resident households on the economic territory of the euro area. The seasonally adjusted HICP data are compiled by the ECB.In addition to the HICP, the HICP dataset also contains the time series of the Owner-Occupied Housing Price Index (OOHPI), which tries to track the prices of owning and maintaining a dwelling based on purchase prices (both house prices of dwellings new to final consumers and construction prices for self-built dwellings) and maintainance costs (maintenance services and insurances). These data are provided by Eurostat as well.

The euro short-term rate (€STR) reflects the wholesale euro unsecured overnight borrowing costs of banks located in the euro area. The ECB publishes on its website the €STR at 08:00 CET on each TARGET2 business date. The €STR time series is updated on the ECB Data Portal (EDP) shortly after the €STR publication. The daily €STR is based on the transactions with overnight maturity that were traded and settled on the previous TARGET2 date. In EDP, the €STR series are indexed by time, where the time index reflects the trade date of the underlying transactions. For example, the observations on the rate, volume traded, etc. with time index 1 October 2019 reflect trading activity on that day, and correspond to the €STR published on 2 October 2019.  For further information refer to the Overview of €STR. The ECB identified a need for preliminary figures, called pre-€STR, to be published prior to the full release of the €STR in October 2019. The pre-€STR was for information purposes only and not intended as a benchmark or reference rate. Pre-€STR series in the EDP   The compounded €STR average rates and the compounded €STR index are updated in EDP shortly after their publication at 09:15 a.m. every TARGET2 business date. In EDP, all compounded €STR series are presented with a time index that reflects their reference date, which by convention coincides with end date of the related interest rate period underlying their calculation.   For further information please refer to the Compounded €STR section of the overview of €STR webpage.

Industrial, construction, and service producer price indices, industrial, construction, and service production, industrial and service turnover, wholesale and retail sales, building permits, hours worked/wages/employment, and business demography data are published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.

They include indirect taxes except VAT and other deductible taxes. Service producer price indices and construction output price indices follow the same concept, reflecting the development of the prices finally received by the service providers and construction companies.Industrial, construction, and service production reflects the volume growth of value added of the sectors concerned.Indices for turnover in industry, services and for wholesale and retail trade measure the turnover, including all duties and taxes with the exception of VAT, invoiced during the reference period. Retail trade turnover covers all retail trade excluding sales of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and except repairs.Business demography covers new business registrations, and business bankruptcies. As the other STBS indicators, they are shown as index number.
