SDMX is an initiative to foster standards for the exchange of statistical information. It is sponsored by several major providers of statistical information: the Bank for International Settlements, the European Central Bank, Eurostat (the statistical office of the European Union), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Statistics Division, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World Bank. . The package can therefore be used to download statistical information from the servers of those organizations, and from those of several other institutions.
