European Central Bank (ECB)

The ECB is the central bank for Europe's single currency, the euro. The ECB’s main task is to maintain the euro's purchasing power and thus price stability in the euro area.

The purpose of ECB statistics is to provide all the data necessary in order to undertake the tasks of the European System of Central Banks. Although the main task is the conduct of the euro area monetary policy for the euro area, ECB statistics are also provided to the European Systemic Risk Board for the macro-prudential oversight of the financial system.

More info can be found on the ECB statistics site.

Conclusion

A very focused dataset. For some of this data Eurostat is listed as a source, which offers more general data within the EU.

Apparently no API so not very suitable for programming.
