Policy interest rates in the United States and Europe declined markedly in 2025, with all observed economies implementing multiple rate cuts over the course of the year. In the United States, the federal funds rate was reduced from **** percent at the end of 2024 to **** percent by year-end 2025. Similarly, the European Central Bank lowered its main refinancing rate from **** percent to **** percent, while the Bank of England reduced its bank rate from **** percent to **** percent. Based on forecasts conducted in 2024, both the U.S. federal funds rate and the Bank of England’s policy rate are expected to decline further in 2026. The impact of central bank policy rates The U.S. federal funds effective rate, crucial in determining the interest rate paid by depository institutions, experienced drastic changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The subsequent slight changes in the effective rate reflected the efforts to stimulate the economy and manage economic factors such as inflation. Such fluctuations in the federal funds rate have had a significant impact on the overall economy. The European Central Bank's decision to cut its fixed interest rate in June 2024 for the first time since 2016 marked a significant shift in attitude towards economic conditions. The reasons behind the fluctuations in the ECB's interest rate reflect its mandate to ensure price stability and manage inflation, shedding light on the complex interplay between interest rates and economic factors. Inflation and real interest rates The relationship between inflation and interest rates is critical in understanding the actions of central banks. Central banks' efforts to manage inflation through interest rate adjustments reveal the intricate balance between economic growth and inflation. Additionally, the concept of real interest rates, adjusted for inflation, provides valuable insights into the impact of inflation on the economy.

Data set and programs to reproduce the forecasts in "Fundamentals and exchange rate forecastability with simple machine learning methods" by Amat, Michalski and Stoltz.

There are three samples: 1973-2014: based on end-of-month (EOM) data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF); 1999-2017: based on end-of-month (EOM) data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF); real-time data for fundamentals 1973-2014: based on FRED averaged exchange rate data (from the St. Louis Federal Reserve).

We present data that we used for all the forecasts. The files with the extension "uirp" are to be used for the UIRP model while those with an extension "mon" for monetary and all fundamentals together given the restrictions on data availability. There is one main file for real time data permitting estimation for the entire 1999-2017 period and others that are trimmed to correspond to the revised data that ends at some month in 2014 for comparison with revised fundamentals.

Each data file has the following layout (25 columns): col 1: date (day / month / year) col 2: the exchange rate for that month (average or end-of-month) col 3: the no-change prediction for the next month s_hat_(t+1) = s_t where s_hat_(t+1) is the forecasted exchange rate and s_t is the current exchange rate. col 4-25: predictions formed by each of the fundamentals of the exchange rate for the next month of the form s_hat_(t+1) = s_t + f_t where f_t is the fundamental at time t. col 4-14: predictions with the fundamentals from one country in the currency pair col 15-25: predictions with the fundamentals from the other country [the order is the same as for the other currency]

Forecasts formed with the fundamentals, listed only for the first currency: col 4: actual 1-month price level change col 5: 12-month price level change col 6: 6-month price level change col 7: actual 1-month money stock change col 8: 12-month money stock change col 9: 6-month money stock change col 10: money market interest rate col 11: change in the lagged money market interest rates col 12: actual 1-month output (industrial production) level change col 13: 12-month output level change col 14: 6-month output level change

"NaN" means that the fundamental to form the forecast was unavailable.

To generate our basic tables with results (for example Table 1), we used hence data from columns 5, 8, 10, 11 and 13 (for the first currency in the pair).

Commented codes are to reproduce the results in Scilab.

Monthly and long-term Japan Interest Rate data: historical series and analyst forecasts curated by FocusEconomics.

The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) estimated that the growth of mortgage lending will slow down in 2023 and 2024, after originations rose by *** percent in 2022. That can be explained with the accelerated house price growth in recent years and the higher interest rates, eroding housing affordability. Within Europe, the Netherlands counts as one of the countries with the highest mortgage debt among private individuals. This has a political background as the Dutch tax system allowed homeowners to deduct interest paid on mortgage from pre-tax income for a maximum period of thirty year, essentially allowing for income support for homeowners. In the Netherlands, this system is known as hypotheekrenteaftrek.
