Arguments

x

(character(1))
One of "latest" or "history". Default "latest".

Value

A data.table::data.table() with the exchange rates.

Details

Note you can achieve the same by calling the ecb_data() function with the right parameters for each currency.

The reference rates are usually updated at around 16:00 CET every working day, except on TARGET closing days.

They are based on the daily concertation procedure between central banks across Europe, which normally takes place around 14:10 CET. The reference rates are published for information purposes only. Using the rates for transaction purposes is strongly discouraged.
