Hi,  
I previously downloaded monthly USD exchange rates from the BIS:  
rdb(“BIS”,“xru\_current”, mask =“M…A”)  
However, when trying today, they only exist in daily format in DBnomics (despite being still available at the BIS at monthly frequency):  
rdb(“BIS”,“xru\_current”, mask =“D…A”)  
Is this a temporary bug or will the monthy rates be again available in DBnmics?  
Thanks,  
Julia

Hello Julia,

The fetcher for BIS was updated a couple of days ago to adapt to the new website.

Maybe there was a regression, we’re going to check and fix this.

We’ll keep you informed.

Thanks a lot Christophe! I started working with the daily data in the meantime and indeed a couple of variable names changed in response to the BIS update…

Hi Julia,  
the problem is corrected. Annual, quarterly and monthly exchange rate data are back.  
Best
