Once a year, the ECB publishes a paper version of the list of MFIs. The monthly Internet release can be downloaded or user defined queries can be performed. A table shows the absolute number of MFIs and the most recent changes, i.e. joiners, leavers and changes in attributes, broken down by country of residence and by category. This is complemented by a detailed list of individual institutions which have joined or left the EU MFI sector. Explanatory notes, available as pdf files on this page, provide further explanations and definitions.
Users can perform their own analysis by queries and by comparison with previous Internet releases.
The euro area corresponds to the European Central Bank, which is part of the Eurosystem. The changes in Euro area total and the break in the series Non-euro area Member States are the effect of Greece becoming a Euro area Member State per 1 January 2001.
