System Introduction

The ARAD time series database, compiled by the Czech National Bank, offers a fully integrated survey of current statistical data covering three subject areas. These are first broken down by data source and are then branched according to subject matter. At the end of each branch are one or more time series arrays, which in turn consist of one or more indicators. The database is built on data sources (source tables). There are currently more than 100 of these. Each data source (source table) has an administrator responsible for the data contained in the data source (source table) and for the methodology used to process it. The administrators use these data sources (source tables) to compile the data series arrays. There are currently around 1000 of these data series. They enable the general public to use this information source to obtain an integrated survey of the banking statistics in particular, but also of the other areas of the Czech economy from which statistics are transferred into the ARAD database.
