• Browse data using a hierarchical navigation system organised by economic concept or report type
• Search for data by submitting text or series keywords
• Compile, store and manage data by logging in at 'My Data.'

Browse and 'My Data' functions are accessible via the left navigation menu. The Search engine is accessible via the button in the header of ECB data pages.

ECB interactive data visualisation tools are available for these themes:

• Euro area yield curves
• Government finance in the Euro area
• Inflation in the Euro area (Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices)
• Nominal effective exchange rate of the Euro (daily)
• European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) data

The Euro area Real-Time Database (RTDB) is an experimental dataset consisting of "vintages, or snapshots, of time series of several variables, based on series reported in the ECB’s Economic Bulletin."

The Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey requires registration. Full details are on this ECB page.
