About these rates

The repo rate is the rate at which the South African Reserve Bank lends against eligible collateral. Its Monetary Policy Committee sets the policy rate; the historical BIS series is compiled with the SARB.

This page brings together central-bank policy rates, overnight market benchmarks such as SONIA, €STR and CORRA, and New Zealand lending and deposit rates from RBNZ surveys. These measures serve different purposes and are not interchangeable. Each series links to its history, definition, source and licence.

Choosing a country changes the order of the series, not their values or coverage. Euro-area countries share the ECB series; the site does not create national policy rates for them. Figures come from official files and are republished without alteration. Missing data is not estimated. Retail lending and deposit rates are available only for New Zealand. Readings may lag their source and are not financial advice.
