The {bacenR} package provides tools to download and process data from the [Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil — Bacen)](https://www.bcb.gov.br) in a simple and efficient way. Currently, the package includes the following functions:
- `get_balance_sheets()`: download [balance sheets from financial institutions](https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/balancetesbalancospatrimoniais)
```R
get_balance_sheets(
institution = c("BANCOS", "COOPERATIVAS"),
months = c(6, 12),
first_year = 2022,
final_year = 2023,
out_dir = tempdir(),
overwrite = FALSE
)
```
- `tidy_balance_sheets()`: process downloaded balance sheets with `get_balance_sheets()` and combine them into a single, unified file
```R
# First, download balance sheets
get_balance_sheets(
institution = c("BANCOS", "COOPERATIVAS"),
months = 12,
first_year = 2022,
final_year = 2023,
out_dir = tempdir(),
overwrite = FALSE
)
# Now, tidy the files
tidy_balance_sheets(
path_raw = tempdir(),
out_dir = tempdir(),
doc_filter = 4010,
save = FALSE
)
```
- `get_normative_data()`: download [regulatory metadata](https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/buscanormas)
```R
normas <- get_normative_data(
terms = c("Cooperativas", "Cooperativa"),
ini_date = "2025-01-01",
end_date = "2025-12-12"
)
```
- `get_normative_txt()`: download the [full texts of regulatory instructions](https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/buscanormas)
```R
# First, download normative data
normative_data <- get_normative_data(
terms = "Cooperativa",
ini_date = "2023-08-01",
end_date = "2023-12-10"
)
# Then, download the full texts for the retrieved normatives
normative_txt <- get_normative_txt(normative_data)
```
- `get_institutions()`: download information about [institutions regulated by Bacen in activity](https://www.bcb.gov.br/estabilidadefinanceira/relacao_instituicoes_funcionamento)
```R
# Download multiple institution types
get_institutions(
institution = c("BANCOS", "COOPERATIVAS"),
start_date = "202201",
end_date = "202212",
out_dir = tempdir()
)
```
- `tidy_institutions()`: precess the data downloaded with `get_institutions()` and combine them into a single, unified file
```R
# First, download institution data
get_institutions(
institution = "COOPERATIVAS",
start_date = "202311",
end_date = "202312",
out_dir = tempdir()
)
# Process institution files from a directory
institutions <- tidy_institutions(
path_dir = tempdir(),
out_dir = tempdir(),
verbose = TRUE
)
```
- `get_ifdata_reports()`: download [IFdata Reports](https://olinda.bcb.gov.br/olinda/servico/IFDATA/versao/v1/aplicacao) for specific periods and institution types. See also [IFdata Reports interface](https://www3.bcb.gov.br/ifdata/index2024.html).
```R
# Multiple periods
cc_ativa_pj_modalidade_20142024 <- bacenR::get_ifdata_reports(
year = c(2014:2024),
month = 12,
report = 13,
type_institution = 2
)
```
- `get_ifdata_registry()`: download [IFdata Registry data](https://olinda.bcb.gov.br/olinda/servico/IFDATA/versao/v1/aplicacao) for specified years and months.
```R
# Multiple years and months
data <- get_ifdata_registry(
year = c(2023, 2024),
month = c(6, 12)
)
```
