# Euro Area Yield Curves

> The ECB's daily zero-coupon yield curves of euro area central government bonds, all issuers and AAA-rated, 3 months to 30 years, as published.

InfoTrie's euro area yield curve dataset carries the zero-coupon yield curves the European Central Bank publishes every TARGET2 business day for euro area central government bonds: one curve over all issuers and one over AAA-rated issuers, from 3 months to 30 years. Each row is one curve, tenor and day, with the rate as published and the attribution the ECB asks for. Values are never modified.

Status: In rollout — available on request.

- **Spread analysis.** Compare the two curves to follow the premium of lower-rated euro area sovereigns.
- **Rates research.** Load the daily curves into models and BI tools.

## FAQ

### Are the ECB's values modified?

No. The ECB's terms ask that its statistics are not modified, and InfoTrie serves them as published, with the line "Source: ECB statistics." on every row.

### Why are the euro area and German curves separate datasets?

Each dataset follows one publisher and one publication calendar, so its completeness can be checked day by day.
