European Bank Lending Rates
Monthly new-business bank lending rates from the ECB's MFI Interest Rate Statistics (MIR): what businesses and households actually PAY to borrow, not the policy rate they're priced off. Composite cost-of-borrowing for non-financial corporations and for household house purchase, plus household consumer-credit rates, for the euro area aggregate and the big-5 national markets (DE/FR/IT/ES/NL).
European Country Macro Panel
One ESG/macro sheet per European country - 11 variables: HICP inflation, unemployment and youth unemployment, industrial production, producer prices, retail trade, the goods trade balance, economic-sentiment and consumer-confidence indicators, air-passenger traffic and gas storage fullness - aligned on ISO country × month. The macro dashboard table, pre-joined across Eurostat + GIE.
European Country Profile
Everything we know about every European country, in one file. This flagship panel joins ~45 annual variables per country - inflation and the full HICP breakdown, GDP, house prices, unemployment and vacancies, government revenue/deficit/debt, births/deaths and vital rates, household & industrial energy prices, energy import-dependency, construction output, tourism nights, air passengers and greenhouse-gas emissions - aligned on country × year since 2000. One coherent, licence-clean panel worth far more than the sum of its parts: the single sheet a cross-country analyst (or a forecasting model) actually wants. Built entirely from redistributable official sources (Eurostat), safe to redistribute and to train on.
