Which rate is shown (BIS notes, in English)

Offficial 2 week repo rate.

The 2 week repo rate can be considered the official policy rate as from 1998, when the CNB switched to an inflation targeting framework. Before 1998, the policy regime as well as monetary policy implementation were different, and the 2 week repo rate is thus just an approximation of the policy stance in that period.

Changes by year

Method

We download the BIS daily policy-rate series (WS_CBPOL). A change is recorded on the first day the published value differs from the previous day's value. Series that ended (for example euro area members before joining the euro) are not listed. bp = basis points (0.01 percentage point).
