Purpose
Shows your options for creating a data package.
Required actions
You must choose one of three options.
-
Build a custom data package
You can set the values for different options to define the data set by topic or
category. Once you have selected the series, you can set the date range
and the file format for the download. Press the "Go to select" button to
proceed to the "Select" screen.
-
Select a preformatted data package
These are the fastest downloads. You will see list of pre-built data
packages with the file format, the date range or number of observations, and
the approximate file size in parentheses after the name of each package.
You can only download one package at a time. Because the packages have
already been built, you will not have the option of changing the file format or
the range of observations. Press the "Go to download" button to proceed
to the "Download" screen.

Download everything in SDMX-ML
Download all the data associated with a particular statistical release in a single XML file that has been formatted according to the SDMX data standard. Click on the "Download all ..." link to access a "zipped" or compressed file that contains the data in XML format and supporting files for processing the data. If you do not have a utility to open a "zipped" file, a link to the free PKWare software is provided.
