Where these numbers come from
Deposit facility rate from the ECB Data Portal date-of-changes series (FM.D.U2.EUR.4F.KR.DFR.LEV), first change 1999-01-01; the main refinancing rate is carried alongside as a secondary series. BIS treated MRR, not DFR, as the euro area's steering rate until 2024-09-18, so the DFR spine is cross-checked against BIS only from that date (9 of 9 overlapping dates agree, 0.0% disagreement); the MRR secondary series agrees with BIS on 35 of 44 overlapping dates across the full run (20.5% disagreement).
