Forex Interest Rates


Forex Special

Central bank interest rate is the rate at which country's central banking institutions lend short-term money to the country's commercial banks. Interest rates also play an important role in Forex market. Because the currencies bought via broker are not delivered to the buyer, broker should pay trader an interest based on the difference between "short" currency interest rate and "long" currency interest rate.
In the interest rates table you can not only find the current interest rates of 20 different countries, but also scroll back in time and see how and when interest rates were changed by the central banks.
Interest rates of the following countries are covered in this interest rates table: United States of America, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Chile, South Africa, Sweden, Brazil, South Korea, Russia, Poland, Latvia, Hungary and Czech Republic.
Click the small green arrows above and below the table to see the past rates decisions.
