Dataset Description
This dataset contains the actual and predicted federal funds target rate for the United States from 1990 to 2023. The federal funds target rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend their excess reserves to each other overnight. It is set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and is a key tool used by the Federal Reserve to influence the economy.
The dataset includes the following five columns:
Release Date: The date on which the data was released by the Federal Reserve. Time: The time of day at which the data was released. Actual: The actual federal funds target rate. Predicted: The predicted federal funds target rate. Forecast: The forecast federal funds target rate.
Data Usage
This dataset can be used for a variety of purposes, including: - Analyzing trends in the federal funds target rate over time. - Forecasting the future path of the federal funds target rate. - Assessing the effectiveness of monetary policy. - Data Quality
The data for this dataset is of high quality. The Federal Reserve is a reputable source of data and the data is updated regularly.
Data Limitations
The data for this dataset is limited to the United States. Additionally, the data does not include information on the factors that influenced the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to set the federal funds target rate.

The U.S. federal funds rate peaked in 2023 at its highest level since the 2007-08 financial crisis, reaching 5.33 percent by December 2023. A significant shift in monetary policy occurred in the second half of 2024, with the Federal Reserve implementing regular rate cuts. By December 2024, the rate had declined to 4.48 percent. What is a central bank rate? The federal funds rate determines the cost of overnight borrowing between banks, allowing them to maintain necessary cash reserves and ensure financial system liquidity. When this rate rises, banks become more inclined to hold rather than lend money, reducing the money supply. While this decreased lending slows economic activity, it helps control inflation by limiting the circulation of money in the economy. Historic perspective The federal funds rate historically follows cyclical patterns, falling during recessions and gradually rising during economic recoveries. Some central banks, notably the European Central Bank, went beyond traditional monetary policy by implementing both aggressive asset purchases and negative interest rates.

View data of the Effective Federal Funds Rate, or the interest rate depository institutions charge each other for overnight loans of funds.
The U.S. federal funds effective rate underwent a dramatic reduction in early 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate plummeted from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.65 percent in March, and further decreased to 0.05 percent in April. This sharp reduction, accompanied by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program, was implemented to stabilize the economy during the global health crisis. After maintaining historically low rates for nearly two years, the Federal Reserve began a series of rate hikes in early 2022, with the rate moving from 0.33 percent in April 2022 to 5.33 percent in August 2023. The rate remained unchanged for over a year, before the Federal Reserve initiated its first rate cut in nearly three years in September 2024, bringing the rate to 5.13 percent. By December 2024, the rate was cut to 4.48 percent, signaling a shift in monetary policy in the second half of 2024. In January 2025, the Federal Reserve implemented another cut, setting the rate at 4.33 percent, which remained unchanged throughout the following months. What is the federal funds effective rate? The U.S. federal funds effective rate determines the interest rate paid by depository institutions, such as banks and credit unions, that lend reserve balances to other depository institutions overnight. Changing the effective rate in times of crisis is a common way to stimulate the economy, as it has a significant impact on the whole economy, such as economic growth, employment, and inflation. Central bank policy rates The adjustment of interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a coordinated global effort. In early 2020, central banks worldwide implemented aggressive monetary easing policies to combat the economic crisis. The U.S. Federal Reserve's dramatic reduction of its federal funds rate - from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.05 percent by April - mirrored similar actions taken by central banks globally. While these low rates remained in place throughout 2021, mounting inflationary pressures led to a synchronized tightening cycle beginning in 2022, with central banks pushing rates to multi-year highs. By mid-2024, as inflation moderated across major economies, central banks began implementing their first rate cuts in several years, with the U.S. Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and European Central Bank all easing monetary policy.

EGPB - An Event-based Gold Price Benchmark Dataset
This benchmark dataset consists of 8030 rows and 36 variables sourced from multiple credible economic websites, covering a period from January 2001 to December 2022.

5. GDP
: Quarterly nominal GDP in 2016 prices, excluding seasonal factor (bln RUB)
6. GDPgr
: Nominal GDP growth rate (Quarterly, %)
7. M0
: Base or high-powered money (bln RUB)
8. M0gr
: M0 growth rate (Quarterly, %)
9. BM
: M2 measure of money supply (bln RUB)
10. BMgr
: M2 growth rate (Quarterly, %)
11. Interest
: 90-day interbank rate (APR, %)
12. USDRUB

12. EURRUB
: EUR/RUB exchange rate (RUB)
13. Unemployment
: Unemployment rate (%)
14. PPI
: Domestic producer price index (index: 2015=100)
15. PPIgr
: Growth rate of producer price index (Quarterly, %)
16. OIL
: Spot prices of Brent per barrel (USD)
17. OILgr
: Growth rate of Brent prices (Quarterly, %)
18. WAGE
: Average monthly nominal wage rate (RUB)
19. WAGEgr
: Changes in nominal wage rate (Quarterly, %)
3. CPI
: Change in CPI as a ratio (End of quarter to end of previous quarter, %)
4. Inflation
: Percentage change in CPI, calculated as Relative CPI - 100 (Quarterly, %)
The data was used to in time-series regression modelling to explain the factors affecting inflation in Russia. Some other modelling ideas for the dataset are: 1. Shift the focus from factor analysis to predicting future inflation 2. Perform factor analyses of other key macroeconomic variables, such as the GDP growth rate, the unemployment rate or the interest rate
Due to the low number of available observations because of quarterly sampling, this dataset is probably better suited to time-series econometric analysis rather than more modern machine learning methods.
