About this desk

The Korea desk leads with the Bank of Korea Base Rate, the policy rate set by the Monetary Policy Board, then the US federal funds rate, Japan's policy rate and the ECB deposit facility, with the rest following. The Base Rate is read from the Bank's published change list and shown as a daily step series from 1999. It is the policy anchor for Korean money-market rates, not a retail lending rate.

All desks show the same official series in a different order; the figures do not change with the desk. Values are republished without alteration, and each page names the source and licence. The build publishes no Korean mortgage or deposit rate, because no official series is ingested — that page is absent rather than estimated. This is not financial advice, and readings may lag their source.
