Sources and methodology

BIS central bank policy rates are used as the primary source where available. IMF monetary and financial statistics are used as a fallback for countries outside BIS coverage. BIS statistics are cited as source data and do not imply BIS endorsement, affiliation, investment advice, or a BIS-specific paid charge.
