Dataset Overview

A comprehensive monthly record of central bank policy interest rates for 49 central banks spanning January 1945 to February 2026, sourced directly from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) official statistical API.

Covers major central banks including the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China, and 44 others across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Each record includes the official policy rate, derived rate change in basis points, rate cycle classification (Hiking / Cutting / Holding High / Holding Low), rate regime label (Negative / Near Zero / Accommodative / Neutral / Restrictive / Very Restrictive), cumulative change since January 2022, spread vs the US Federal Reserve, 3 and 12-month rolling averages, all-time high/low flags, crisis period flags (GFC, COVID, 2022–23 Hiking Cycle), and historical era labels spanning the Bretton Woods Era through the current Rate Cutting Cycle.

24,454 records. 100% completeness across all critical fields. All math independently verified — rate changes, cumulative BPS, rolling averages, and spread calculations confirmed correct.

Data Science Applications

• Time series forecasting: predict rate decisions using rolling averages, cycle phase, and spread vs Fed
• Clustering: group central banks by rate behaviour patterns across decades
• Event study analysis: measure rate response to GFC, COVID, and the 2022-23 inflation shock
• Correlation analysis: cross-country rate synchronisation and divergence during hiking and cutting cycles
• Regime detection: classify monetary policy stance using rate_regime and rate_cycle features
• EDA: 80 years of global monetary policy across 7 world regions

Data was cleaned and prepared for a data visualization comparing the Federal Funds Rate to the 10-Year Breakeven Inflation Rate. The purpose of this project was to visualize a perspective of the Federal Reserve. With the Federal Reserve raising rates to control inflation, many are debating when will the Federal Reserve pause raising rates or cut rates. The 10-Year Breakeven Inflation Rate is still well above the Federal Reserve's FAIT (Flexible Average Inflation Targeting) of 2% for that reason the Federal Reserve still has room to play with the Funds Rate.
