Where central bank policy rate stands

The latest published reading for each of the 17 economies this indicator covers. The stronger the shading, the higher the figure — never better or worse: high growth is welcome, high unemployment is not, and a scale that decided which end was good would be wrong on half of these figures.

Most of the world is unshaded, and that is the honest picture rather than a gap to be filled: this site carries 17 economies for policy rate, and shading a neighbour because it is nearby would be inventing a figure. Countries publish on different schedules, so these readings are not all from the same month — the date above is the most recent of them.
