Reflecting the importance of these indicators for dealing with financial stability issues, the BIS disseminates statistics on property prices for a wide range of countries. This data collection has been reinforced since the 2007–08 financial crisis, not least in the context of the Data Gaps Initiative endorsed by the G-20. Moreover a growing attention is being paid to the long-term trends in property prices, which are an important element in determining the evolution of financial cycles across countries.

In disseminating the commercial and residential property price statistics, the BIS and its member central banks are following up on the recommendations in The financial crisis and information gap - a joint IMF/FSB report prepared for G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. Recommendation 19 of the initial report advised the BIS and its member central banks to investigate how publicly available real estate price data are disseminated on its website. The initial joint report was published in <a href='http://www.financialstabilityboard.org/publications/r_091029.pdf' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>October 2009</a> while the recommendations for the second phase were presented in <a href='http://www.imf.org/external/np/g20/pdf/2015/6thprogressrep.pdf' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>September 2015</a>.
