World Interest Rates

When does the European Central Bank have its next interest rates meeting? What is the current base interest rate in the USA? The chart below displays the latest interest rates of all world central banks (for Ireland, view the European Monetary Union / European Central Bank rates).

This chart is updated each month and by viewing the rates, you can receive an active reflection of what is happening within each economic region. The lower an interest rate, the more an economic region is most likely attempting to improve commerce, investment and economic productivity.

The chart is updated on a frequent basis so that you can check global interest rates as they happen. The base interest rate of any region or nation has a large impact on its economic health. Last Updated: 22nd May 2015.
