For Professionals
Global Financial Info publishes official-source economic data with the citation trail a professional needs: the value, the instrument, the announcing body, the legal reference, the effective date, and the prior value it replaced.
Rate values are BIS statistics, compiled by the Bank for International Settlements from central bank decisions; BIS retains its rights in them. The compilation, the derived fields and the documentation are ours, under CC BY 4.0.
What is available now
Every series level, as-of date, source status and citation string, as JSON or CSV. 193 series and 232 verified citation URLs, no key, CC BY 4.0.
The rate each authority actually sets, its most recent change, the real rate after inflation, the cycle peak and the distance below it, the time at the current level, debt and growth context, and the next scheduled decision.
The Download CSV button on that page writes one row per economy from the live table, with the columns the page shows โ the fastest way to see the shape of the data before any conversation.
Definitions, how each field is constructed, the sources behind it, the known limitations, and the change log of framework moves.
A versioned record carrying the CSV, a typed JSON export, the field dictionary, the provenance statement and the revision history.
Licence: the policy rate dataset is CC BY 4.0; the articles are CC BY-NC 4.0. The terms are set out on the licence page.
