The European Committee of Central Balance-Sheet Data Offices comprises the central balance sheet data offices of the central banks of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as similar units in the statistics offices of Finland and Holland and the Italian Centrale dei Bilanci.
The Committee was set up in 1987 and since then has been pooling the experience of these institutions with a view to improving the analysis of the information provided by non-financial companies, refining data collection and processing techniques in the institutional sector and engaging in joint analysis and research work.
As a result of this collaboration, a variety of international sector studies are available, together with a breakdown of other recently published papers.
