Monetary and Financial indicators include information on money supply, interest rates, bond yields, exchange rates, stock market capitalisation, share price indices and official foreign reserves. Aggregates in this section are compiled either by the European Central Bank or Eurostat.
Figures in this section are presented in nominal terms with the exception of the interest and exchanges rates, where some real measures are also available. Data are presented on different units according to their specificities.
All figures are presented as non-seasonally adjusted, with the exception of monetary aggregates, which are also presented as seasonally adjusted.
Monetary and financial indicators give a good picture of the monetary side behaviour of the economy. They are largely used for the construction of econometrics models and leading indicators as well as in multivariate business cycle analysis.
