Official interest rates

The official policy rates set by the major central banks, monthly from 2000, on a single cube. Distinctive because it is not just the Swiss rate: the hierarchy is organised by country, so it doubles as a cross-central-bank policy-rate comparison. Switzerland carries the LZ SNB policy rate plus the historical SNB target range for 3-month CHF Libor (UG0 lower, OG0 upper). The United States block is the Fed target range (UG1/OG1). The Euro area/ECB block has three distinct facility rates: H main refinancing, SRF marginal lending, EF deposit facility. The UK is L0 (Bank of England Bank Rate) and Japan L1 (BoJ uncollateralised overnight call rate). All values are in percent. This captures the regime change in Swiss monetary policy (the move from a Libor target band to a single SNB policy rate) inside one series, because both the old range bounds and the current single rate live here.
