FinFlows - Mapping financial linkage

FinFlows is a dataset that provides a comprehensive mapping of domestic and cross-border financial investments across institutional sectors, financial instruments and geographies over time

FinFlows is a unique dataset of financial stocks and flows across sectors and countries. 

To improve the quality and availability of data to inform the Savings and Investment Union, FinFlows provides a comprehensive mapping of domestic and cross-border financial investments across institutional sectors, instruments and geographies over time.  

It shows patterns of savings, investment, and financial linkages within the EU and globally, and thus helps monitor financial integration and identify potential risks and vulnerabilities.

FinFlows has been developed by the JRC together with the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN).
