Weighted-average six-month term-deposit rate from the RBNZ retail survey (B3, INR.MBI05.T07). Latest month: 3.45% for 31 Jul 2026.
From 31 Mar 1965 to 31 Jul 2026 (561 months): mean 6.31%, median 5.44%; low 0.82% (31 Jan 2021), high 18.00% (31 Jul 1987). Published average, not an offer from any one bank.
New Zealand's six-month term deposit rate is a retail savings benchmark from the Reserve Bank's B3 retail interest-rate survey, series INR.MBI05.T07. It is a weighted average of the advertised six-month term-deposit rates offered by surveyed institutions, compiled monthly, so the headline figure is the latest survey month and not a rate any single bank promises. The survey is a comparable reference across the market; offers you see may differ by institution, balance and term.
The chart shows the monthly survey history and the table lists the same values in reverse date order. The "versus the previous reading" line compares the latest month with the one before it, and the mean, median, low and high summarise the run in this build. Range buttons only shorten the window, and Chart and Table present one series in two forms. Because it is a published average, the rate can lag changes in wholesale funding costs and the official cash rate, and it can move when institutions reprice rather than when policy changes.
About this desk
The India desk leads with the RBI repo rate, read from the BIS central bank policy rate series for India, then US, UK and Japan rates. The repo rate is the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India lends to banks against government securities; the BIS series is the overnight repo rate from 2001 and the Bank Rate before that, stitched into one comparable policy measure and drawn as daily steps. It is a policy rate, not a mortgage or deposit rate.
All desks carry the same series in a different order, so the numbers match the hub. Values are republished with attribution to the BIS, and this page is not an official BIS publication. The build ingests no Indian retail deposit series, so none is shown; gaps are left open rather than estimated. This is not financial advice, and readings may lag their source.
