What this value means
Official ECB Governing Council press release, 10 September 2026. Modeled Portuguese policy-rate is the euro-area DFR (deposit facility), not a Banco de Portugal rate. DFR raised to 2.50% effective 16 September 2026. Cross-checked on the official key ECB interest rates table (16 Sep. 2026 row: Deposit facility 2.50). Figure used: DFR 2.50%. Citation moved 2026-10-09 from the 10 September 2026 press release (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2026/html/ecb.mp260910~314e508016.en.html) to the key ECB interest rates table, whose newest row (2026 16 Sep., 2.50) the latest-decision gate now checks; the press release remains the decision record. Value unchanged.
