As far as data for the first area, namely surveillance of financial markets are concerned, these are more or less readily available with long time series and adequate frequency. Examples are stock price indices, bond yields and emerging market spreads, obtained through commercial data providers. However, the availability of indicators for other asset markets is less satisfactory.
One example are price indicators for the real estate markets, where we at the Bundesbank currently calculate indicators for terraced houses and flats based on data from a commercial data provider at annual frequency only. We are now investigating a way to move to a quarterly frequency for these data.
