Global Interest Rates

The cost of money for ~150 countries in one clean Parquet - the emerging-market interest-rate coverage that stops at the OECD border everywhere else. Real interest rate, lending rate, deposit rate and the lending-deposit spread (a proxy for banking-sector efficiency and risk), per country per year since 2000. The real rate is the discount rate behind every housing, equity and investment valuation; the spread flags where credit is expensive and banks fragile. The cross-country rates panel for macro, fixed-income, fintech and country-risk research; joins to the house-price, inflation and country-profile products on ISO-3 code.
