The Data and Statistics Division (DSD) is the Bank’s centre of expertise for the collection, compilation, dissemination, and publication of regulatory and statistical data. As part of this, DSD encourages innovation and promotes quality to support analysis, policy and decision-making by the Bank’s various committees, as well as UK government departments and international organisations.
DSD collects data from banks and buildings societies, credit unions, insurance companies, regulated mortgage lenders and mortgage administrators.

We cleanse a sizeable proportion of these datasets and publish a large volume of statistical data via our interactive database. We support the Bank’s policy committees and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) Board. Our data are used in a number of publications, such as the Monetary Policy Report, Financial Stability Report, Credit Conditions Survey, Stress Test Results, FPC Core Indicators, and Quarterly Bulletins.
