ECB main refinancing rate across 21 European countries

Across the 21 European countries with a single figure, the ECB main refinancing rate runs from 2.4% (Austria) to 2.65% (Croatia). Every figure links to its official source, with the date it took effect and the date we last checked it.

Every figure names the official instrument it came from, the date it takes effect and the date we last checked it against that source. Where no single figure applies, we say so rather than publish one.

Not listed: Switzerland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Euro Area, United Kingdom, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Türkiye, Ukraine — Not a product. This is the European Central Bank's main refinancing rate, held on the euro-area countries so their statutory-interest and late-payment-interest series can be computed from it live rather than restated by hand each time the ECB moves. It is published free like any other series, but it is a reference input, not a thing we sell coverage of.. That is an absence in the law, not a gap in the data.
