We are informing you about an update to the BIS SDMX v1 API, which has been realigned to match the data structure of the BIS Data Portal.
The WS_CPMI_INSTITUT dataflow now incorporates all CPMI INSTITUTIONS content that was previously found in the WS_CPMI_INSTITUTIONS dataflow.

To ensure the smooth continuation of your services, we kindly ask you to modify your scripts to reflect this change.

We strongly advise that you upgrade to the BIS SDMX v2 API at your earliest convenience, as the BIS SDMX v1 API will be phased out later in the year.

About

The BIS statistics on the supply and use of retail payments are part of the Red Book statistics of the 27 member jurisdictions of the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) and are published annually.

The statistics contain two distinct sections. The first section includes general macroeconomic statistics, which can be used to relate the size of a country's payment industry to the size of its economic activity. This section also includes figures on banknotes and coins in circulation and on the narrow money supply. The second section details institutions offering payment services to end users, supply of cards and terminals, use of cashless payments, cash withdrawals and deposits. The data set also presents qualitative information on card schemes.

The country tables present developments for individual CPMI jurisdictions over time. The comparative tables combine key data from the country tables from all CPMI jurisdictions. The comparative tables also contain qualitative information on credit and debit card schemes.
