Opening granular data to academic researchers

The Banque de France and the Centre d'Accès Sécurisée aux Données (CASD) have signed a partnership agreement allowing academic researchers to access 75 databases of the Banque de France on the CASD. These sources, which exclude supervisory and personal data, are detailed on the CDAP platform (for "Confidential Data Access Portal", https://cdap.casd.eu). Access requests can be submitted directly on this portal since 4 April 2022.

The Bank of France thus offers new services to the economy. It allows the research community to work together with data from the Banque de France and with data from other producers available on the CASD (INSEE...), in a very secure environment that preserves the confidentiality of the data.
