Global Interest Rates Tracker – Central Bank Rates by Country

Source: Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Central bank policy rates, WS_CBPOL 1.0. Data are checked centrally once daily per feed; BIS normally publishes updates weekly. Dates on cards are observation dates, not central bank announcement dates. This is not a real-time rate feed.

Cards show the latest daily observation available in the saved BIS feed. Charts and the expandable table use monthly end-of-period observations. The newest point can be a daily observation in an unfinished month, explicitly labelled partial. Previous months are not monthly averages. Lines guide the eye between sampled observations; they do not date intra-month policy decisions. Missing periods are not filled.

Changes are in basis points (bp): one percentage point equals 100 bp. Card changes compare the displayed rate with the preceding calendar month-end. Historical table changes compare consecutive calendar months; gaps produce unavailable changes. “Common month · major economies” compares the shared initial 15 economies with data for the selected view in the same completed month (the optional CPI comparison excludes outdated matched histories from this reference group); other areas use that month or show unavailable; the focus panel still shows the latest available point.

BIS selects the rate that best represents each economy’s policy intentions. It may be a target, repo, deposit, lending or representative market rate. For the United States the current series is the midpoint of the Fed target range, not its upper bound or the effective federal funds rate. No range boundaries are reconstructed. China’s series is the 1-year Loan Prime Rate, not its 7-day reverse repo rate. The euro area series uses the ECB deposit facility rate from 18 September 2024; earlier observations use other instruments documented by BIS. Historical series can contain instrument changes and breaks.

“Policy minus CPI” is an optional, same-month comparison using locally cached headline data from the separate Silver Dominion Global Inflation Tracker. It subtracts annual CPI/HICP inflation from the BIS month-end policy rate, in percentage points. Both inputs and their month are shown. It is a backward-looking proxy, not a market real yield, an inflation-adjusted bond return or a measure of expected inflation. Different CPI methods remain relevant. No extra external data request is made; unavailable pairs remain blank.

In Default order, the first cards use the same 15 jointly covered economies across all five global trackers, ordered by 2025 nominal GDP in World Bank WDI; phones initially show the same first 8 entries. This is an introductory selection, not an indicator ranking. Selecting Highest, Lowest or Country name A–Z reorders the entire available list, including the first 15/8 cards; Show more economies continues in the selected order. Economies without a comparable observation appear last in value rankings. The euro area is distinct from the European Union; definitions and historical membership follow each official source.

Verification older than seven days or a daily observation older than 21 days is labelled. Failed, incomplete or older source responses retain the last verified series. WordPress cron requires site traffic or a host cron. A successful check does not imply a new BIS release.
