The goal of cbtext is to provide an easy way to collect and read central bank texts in R
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")

All central bank texts and were selected according to the fact that they were easy to find via HTML. Another criterion is that the text type is clearly delineated within the category.
Very much I would like to extend the tool’s range. So if you are missing a central bank or a text type, please send me a message and we will see if this is possible!
