About this desk

The Japan desk leads with the BIS central bank policy rate series for Japan, compiled by the BIS with the Bank of Japan, then US, Korea and ECB rates. The BIS series follows whichever instrument the authorities treat as the policy rate in each period — today the uncollateralised overnight call rate — and is shown as daily steps from 1946. It is a compiled policy measure, not a mortgage or deposit rate.

All desks show the same official series in a different order; the figures do not change when you switch. Values are republished with attribution to the BIS, and this site is not an official BIS publication. The build ingests no Japanese retail lending series, so those pages are absent rather than estimated. Nothing here is financial advice, and readings may lag their source.
