  Documentation ECB STATISTICS BULLETIN – EURO AREA STATISTICS GENERAL NOTES
  Source agency European Central Bank (ECB)
  Short presentation of data items The nominal effective exchange rate (EER) index is a summary measure of the external value of a currency vis-à-vis the currencies of the most trading partners, while the real EER - obtained by deflating the nominal rate with appropriate price or cost indices - is the most commonly used indicator of international price and cost competitiveness. Daily spot exchange rates provided by the Market Operations Division.
  Analytical framework The methodology used to compute the trade weights on which the ECB nominal and real EER are based is similar to that underlying the EER published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). This methodological framework has been commonly agreed by the 15 NCBs of the then former EU Member States.
