ECB Main Refinancing Rate

ECB main refinancing operations rate, the key policy rate.

ECB Main Refinancing Rate is part of the EU/UK Rates category. European markets carry the sovereign debt overhang of the post-2010 era in their pricing. Bund-BTP spreads remain the cleanest gauge of periphery stress, while HICP drives ECB policy expectations. UK macro diverges post-Brexit, with sterling volatility and Gilt-Bund spreads carrying political risk premia that sometimes detach entirely from U.S. moves.

ECB Main Refinancing Rate is updated once per month when the releasing agency publishes new data. Each metric page on Convex shows the exact time of the last data update and provides historical data going back up to five years.

Convex sources ECB Main Refinancing Rate data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) API, maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Data is fetched automatically and displayed alongside interactive charts, AI analysis, and historical context.
