eiopaR

A simple package to get the EIOPA rates directly in your script.

The data is accessed through an API which is regularly updated with the latest EIOPA rates.

Note:

• This package requires an internet connection in order to access the risk-free rates data.
• The API or the author of this package are not related to EIOPA.

Installation

You can install the released version of eiopaR from CRAN with:

install.packages("eiopaR")

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("MehdiChelh/eiopaR")

Note: If you use Excel, you can also use the add-in EIOPA_API.xlam of this repository (in the Excel ribbon: Developer > Add-ins > Browse > EIOPA_API.xlam). It imports a formula called EIOPA that can be used in Excel as follows: EIOPA("with_va", "FR", 2019, 12) or also EIOPA("no_va", "FR", 2019, 12).

Example

The following script gives you the risk-free rates with volatility adjustment:

library(eiopaR)

rfr <- get_rfr_with_va(region = "FR", year = 2017:2018, month = 12)
rfr
#> <eiopa_rfr>
#> 20171231_rfr_spot_with_va_FR > -0.00318, -0.0021, -0.00048 ...
#> 20181231_rfr_spot_with_va_FR > -0.00093, -0.00035, 0.00063 ...

Note: It is recommended to limit the number of calls to the functions get_rfr, get_rfr_with_va, get_rfr_no_va and to store the results of your calls in the environment variables of your session (like in the example above rfr <- get_...). Your IP can be temporary or permanently blocked if too many queries are executed.

The rates are then accessible as a data.frame:

head(rfr$data)
#>   20171231_rfr_spot_with_va_FR 20181231_rfr_spot_with_va_FR
#> 1                     -0.00318                     -0.00093
#> 2                     -0.00210                     -0.00035
#> 3                     -0.00048                      0.00063
#> 4                      0.00109                      0.00194
#> 5                      0.00249                      0.00339
#> 6                      0.00387                      0.00478

plot(
  rfr$data$`20171231_rfr_spot_with_va_FR`,
  ylab = "2017-12",
  type = 'l',
  col = "purple"
)
