Finding Foreign Exchange Turnover Data Covering the Euro

Article Quant Q&A · Author: B McMinn
Read the original

Summary

The document asks where to find currency-pair trading frequency or turnover data focused on the euro, noting that the Bank for International Settlements’ Triennial Central Bank Survey reports global volumes. The response points to a semiannual foreign exchange turnover survey conducted by the London Foreign Exchange Joint Standing Committee and notes that it includes euro activity.

This is a pointer to a data source rather than an explanation of how to analyze the figures. The cited survey is not limited to euro-related trades, so it may not directly answer a question about the full global distribution of currencies traded against the euro. The document gives no turnover values, methodology details, or comparison with the BIS survey; users would need to consult the survey itself to determine its coverage and whether its breakdown fits their analysis.

Key ideas

  • The question seeks currency turnover data focused on euro trading.
  • The response points to a semiannual London foreign exchange turnover survey that includes the euro.
  • The suggested survey is broader than euro-only activity, so its coverage may not match a targeted analysis.
  • The document provides a source lead but no figures or survey methodology.

# Euro/Foreign Exchange Volumes


# Euro/Foreign Exchange Volumes












I'm trying to put together a financial analysis notebook as part of a data science program. One thing I am trying to find is the frequency of currencies that are traded with the Euro. I have looked at the Triennial Central Bank Survey for 2019 from BIS, but that's global volumes. I am looking for something similar but targeted to just the Euro.

Thank you.

This is not "targeted to just the Euro" but does cover the euro.
