 Today, we are going behind the scenes in our statistics department. Data is essential for better understanding the world. Our statistics department has an important role in producing data for Europe. My colleagues clean, organize and combine millions of data points on banks, loans, mortgages, people's expectations and much more. This data forms the basis for our decision-making at the ECB. For example, we have a database with almost every bank loan handed out to businesses. Right now, my colleagues are working on a project to understand the impact of climate change on bank portfolios. Much of our data is freely available and can be downloaded from our website. Currently, we are working on a new ECB data portal in order to make our data even more accessible. By providing reliable and robust data, the statistics department helps us to pursue our main task – keeping prices stable.
