Common questions
Which central banks have a rate decision this month?
3 of the central banks on this page have a decision left this month: Federal Reserve (Wed 28 Oct), European Central Bank (Thu 29 Oct), Bank of Japan (Fri 30 Oct). Dates come from each bank's own published schedule, and the full list of upcoming events is on the release calendar.
Which central bank has the highest and lowest policy rate?
The highest published policy rate on this page is Central Bank of Nigeria at 23% as of 22 Sep 2026. The lowest is Swiss National Bank at 0% as of 24 Sep 2026.
How often does each central bank meet?
Meeting frequency differs by institution, and FXMacroData never infers one from a cadence rule. A decision date appears here and in the API only after the central bank publishes it, which is why some banks show a date and others do not yet.
Where does this policy-rate data come from?
Every rate on this page is read from the publishing institution: BCB, Bank of Canada, Bank of England, Bank of Israel, Bank of Japan, Bank of Korea, Bank of Thailand, CBN, CNY mirror, ECB, Federal Reserve, Norges Bank, PBoC, RBA, RBNZ, Riksbank, SNB. FXMacroData stores the published value with the release timestamp and does not restate or model it.
How do I get policy rates and decision dates from the API?
Call GET /v1/announcements/{currency}/policy_rate for the rate series with its release timestamps, and GET /v1/calendar/{currency}?indicator=policy_rate for upcoming decision dates. USD is open without a key; the other currencies need a subscription key.
