The visualisation draws on the ECB's who to whom data. It shows sectoral exposures for the selected region (default: Euro Area), asset (default: total) and period (default: 2017/12).

Arrows run from providers of financing to recipients. An example: An arrow from 'mfi' to 'nfc' indicates the amount of funding mfis have provided to nfcs.

Values are shown in Euro billions.
