The World Interest Rates Table reflects the current interest rates of the main countries around the world, set by their respective Central Banks. Rates typically reflect the health of individual economies, as in a perfect scenario, Central Banks tend to rise rates when the economy is growing and therefore instigate inflation. Rate cuts on the other hand, are a way to stimulate a struggling economy. The table includes actual rates, latest policy changes and the date of upcoming meetings/decisions, for the major ones.
