# Latest euro-area insurance balance sheet (U2 aggregate)

`GET /api/v1/ecb/icb/insurance/latest`

Latest-quarter balance-sheet snapshot for the euro-area insurance sector (S128) at the U2 aggregate level. Returns total assets/liabilities (T00) plus per-item breakdown across asset codes (A10/A20/A30/A40/A50/A60/A70/A80/A90) and liability codes (L20/L30/L40/L50/L70/L90). Asset items sum to T00 and liability items sum to T00 within ESA 2010 balance-sheet identity tolerance (~2% upper bound; observed residuals well below 1%). `total_source` indicates U2 aggregate vs member-state-sum fallback. Source: ECB Insurance Corporations Assets and Liabilities dataflow (ICB).
