Interest Rates

   Central Bank News publishes a Global Interest Rate Monitor (GIRM) that covers the official monetary policy rates of the world's monetary authorities. Central banks use a range of tools to implement monetary policy but normally identify one rate as their key policy rate.
   The FIRST SECTION of the table shows changes to policy rates in the current month, including the name of the country that changed its rate, the current policy rate, the latest change in the policy rate in basis points, the date of the change, the year-to-date net change and the change in basis points in the earlier years of 2021, 2020 2019.
   The SECOND SECTION shows changes year-to-date, starting with the Global Monetary Policy Rate (GMPR), or the average nominal rate of the 104 central banks covered by Central Bank News, followed by the change in GMPR year-to-date, and the date for the latest change. This is followed by the total change in GMPR in basis points in 2021, 2020 and 2019.
