Where the dates come from

Meeting dates come from each bank's published calendar and appear in our meeting guides. We checked them on 2 October 2026 for the Fed and 8 October 2026 for the other six banks. Two-day meetings appear under the decision date, always the second day.

Odds from Kalshi and Polymarket prediction markets are combined into one probability for a cut, no change or a rise for each bank with a market. They have a 15 minutes delay and update whenever the page loads.

Meetings with extra reports

Some meetings include a forecast or report. The Fed publishes the Summary of Economic Projections at its December and March meetings. The Bank of England's November and February meetings and the Bank of Canada's October and January meetings include the Monetary Policy Report. The Bank of Japan's October and January meetings include the Outlook Report.

Decision times and minutes in our calendar

Our economic calendar API gives decision times for the Fed and the RBA. FOMC statements are due at 19:00 UTC on 9 December 2026 and 27 January 2027, followed by the press conference 30 minutes later. RBA decision statements are due at 03:30 UTC on 3 November and 8 December 2026.

The calendar also includes FOMC minutes on 18 November and 30 December 2026, and RBA minutes on 17 November and 29 December 2026. ECB, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, Bank of Canada and SNB meetings are absent, so we take their dates solely from each bank's calendar.

Busy weeks and next year

December's meetings form two groups. The RBA, the Fed, the Bank of Canada and the SNB decide between 8 and 10 December. A week later, the ECB and the Bank of England decide on 17 December and the Bank of Japan on 18 December.

In 2027 the Fed, the ECB, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Canada and the RBA each have eight planned meetings, and the SNB has four: 52 decisions overall. The table above counts each bank's remaining meetings in 2026 and those scheduled for 2027.

Each month page shows that month's decisions and latest odds, the minutes and reports that follow, and the next dates for banks not meeting that month. A dash in an odds column means that meeting has no decision market yet.
