FCI DATA

 NEW  We have updated the database to February 2024!

The database contains the three sets of Financial Conditions Indices (FCIs) constructed in Arrigoni, Bobasu, Venditti (2022):

1. EW-FCI: Equal Weights FCI (ew_fci in the database)

2. PCA-FCI: Principal Component Analysis FCI (pca_fci in the database)

3. TVP-FCI: Time-Varying Parameters FCI (tvp_fci in the database)

Indices are standardised. For each index type, aggregate measures are also available: global, advanced economies, emerging markets, euro area. Aggregate indices are weighted averages of country level FCIs with GDP PPP shares as weights. The excel file contains a more detailed description of all the variables.
