Central Bank Watch

16 central banks whose decisions set the cost of money in their currencies: who decides, with which instrument, under what mandate, and where to read the decision at its source.

What a rate decision is The 16 banks

The 16 banks at their real coordinates on an equirectangular grid. Positions only: no coastlines, no borders.

The banks

Who sets policy, and where.

Local time is read from your clock. Each row opens the bank’s page, with its currency’s pairs and the releases it responds to.

ScheduleLocal times are computed from your device clock and each city’s time zone.

Deliberately absent

No policy rates, no meeting dates.

A policy rate is only useful if it is current, and GIO4X has no licensed feed for central bank data connected to this site. Rather than print a number that could be out of date on the day you read it, every bank’s page links to the place where the bank itself publishes its rate, its last decision and its calendar.

What each page does carry

The policy body and the instrument it sets
The mandate, summarised
The currency’s pairs, with ECB reference fixings
The scheduled releases commonly read alongside it
