Market-rate spans
Eras where the level is a BIS-observed market rate rather than a decision, summarised at each era's daily extremes.
| Instrument | From | To | Observations | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 month interbank rate | 1995-11-03 | 1997-12-31 | 365 | 6.69% | 11.00% |
3 month interbank rate
1995-11-03 to 1997-12-31 · 365 obs
6.69% – 11.00%
A market era is a traded rate BIS uses as a proxy for the policy stance, not a rate the bank itself set by decision.
Where these numbers come from
Derived entirely from BIS daily policy-rate levels (WS_CBPOL); every day the level differs from the prior day is a change day. Instrument eras parsed from the BIS COMPILATION field (3 era(s)).
