I'm using the IMF International Financial Statistics (IFS) database through their online Query Builder (http://elibrary-data.imf.org/DataExplorer.aspx) to obtain measures of credit by "other depository institutions" to the private sector. I am particularly interested in series 22D__ and FOSAOEA for Euro-area countries.
I have noticed that there are missing values in 1998 and/or 1999 for some Euro-area countries in these credit series, coinciding with conversion to the Euro. I print these data below with missing values indicated by NA.
Does anyone know where I could obtain these missing values?
I have tried looking at OECD Stat and EuroStat without any luck. For any particular country--year, I only need one of 22D__ or FOSAOEA because I would like to combine these into a single variable.

The Global Financial Development Database (GFDD) of the World Bank provides a similar variable called GFDD.DI.01, but this variable is calculated from the IFS and hence is also missing for Euro-area countries in 1998 and 1999. Below is an extract from the GFDD showing the country--years with missing data:
