Your team
You will be part of the Financial Statistics Section, which is in the Monetary & Economic Statistics Division of the Directorate General Statistics. You will join a dynamic, multicultural and experienced team of approximately 15 people that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens. Together you will develop, compile and disseminate statistics and statistical indicators relating to the soundness of the banking and financial system, supporting the ECB and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) in the conduct of their macroprudential policies. The team is also responsible for compiling statistics and indicators on financial integration and payment instruments and systems, as well as statistics on crypto-assets and credit risk parameters.

Your role
As an Economist-Statistician you will:
- collect and compile the Consolidated Banking Data and related datasets; and compile indicators for publications such as the ESRB’s Risk Dashboard to support analysis of the financial system’s strengths and vulnerabilities;
- contribute to the design and development of new statistical datasets and indicators covering the euro area and EU financial system (and/or improve existing datasets);
- enhance systems, processes and tools for the compilation and visualisation of statistics in the remit of the Section;
- help to further develop the methodological framework for financial stability statistics, as well as proactively monitor developments in statistical and supervisory standards as well as in financial markets and institutions;
- assist in the presentation of Directorate General Statistics positions on statistical issues related to the ESRB, its sub-groups and the European System of Financial Supervision, with a focus on ensuring effective coordination of the statistical support provided to the ESRB;
- prepare and present documentation for the meetings of the ECB Statistics Committee’s Working Group on Monetary and Financial Statistics as well as the ESRB’s Contact Group on Data and the other relevant groups in the users’ business areas.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to contribute to the provision of statistical support to the macroprudential function of the ECB and to the ESRB.
