Central Bank Interest Rates
A free, no-login reference snapshot of the headline policy interest rates for the major central banks — the Fed, ECB, BoE, SNB, BoC, RBA and BoJ. It is updated periodically (not a live feed); each rate shows its official source and last-updated date so you can verify the current figure. For education only.
Verified reference data from each bank’s official source (reviewed 2025-03). Each value is dated to the month it took effect. Policy rates change between meetings — always confirm the current figure on the official source linked on every card. This is not a live data feed.
SNB
Swiss National Bank
0.25%
SNB policy rate
Before June 2019 the value is the midpoint of the SNB's 3-month CHF LIBOR target range; pre-2006 midpoints are approximate (±0.25pp).
BoJ
Bank of Japan
0.50%
Short-term policy rate (overnight call rate)
Reflects the short-term policy rate; ~0% during the 2001–2006 quantitative-easing era when the operating target was the current-account balance.
How it works
Central banks set a headline policy rate that anchors short-term interest rates in their economy. Differences between these rates are one of the inputs traders watch when thinking about currencies.
The figures here are a dated reference snapshot with links to each bank's official source. They are not a live feed and are provided for education only.
Example calculation
- Each card shows the bank, its headline rate, the official source and the last-updated date.
