Website: Statistics: Exchange rates

An exchange rate is the price of a currency in terms of another currency. The Eurostat collection on exchange rates covers the following datasets:
- Exchange rates between the euro/ECU and other currencies. Daily data are available, as well as monthly, quarterly, and annual. Source: European Central Bank (euro exchange rates) and European Commission (ECU exchange rates).
- Conversion factors for euro fixed series into euro/ECU. These are factors devised to help users in converting national time series of euro area countries expressed in euro ('euro fixed') into euro/ECU and vice versa.
- Former euro area national currencies vs. euro/ECU. Historical data: the exchange rates of the former currencies (Belgian Franc, Deutsche Mark, etc.) of those countries which joined the euro area.
- Effective exchange rate indices. Source: European Commission.

The compilation and dissemination of monetary and financial indicators at the European level is chiefly the responsibility of the European Central Bank. A wide range of detailed European and natonal monetary and financial indicators can be found in the ECB's Statistical Data Warehouse [see Related URL].
