CNB repo rate: current rate and history

Czech National Bank two-week repo rate

A policy rate is an interest rate a central bank sets to steer short-term rates. In this series, two_week_repo_rate identifies the instrument and CZK identifies its currency. Each point observation contains a single rate. The value is a decimal string expressed in percent per annum, which describes the rate on an annual basis.

Recent rate changes

The CNB series uses effective_on, the date a rate took effect. The contract also has observed_on for sources that record observation dates; each response contains exactly one of these fields. An optional announced_on field records the announcement date. Future effective dates never replace the current rate early, so an announced change and the rate currently in force can differ.

History coverage

The Czech National Bank publishes the underlying series. Narwhal preserves the published values and returns the rate with its instrument, currency and date field. These fields keep the meaning of each observation attached to its value when you store or compare historical responses.

How do I get the CNB repo rate history?

Request the history endpoint with CZE, then set start and optionally end for your date range. Use the returned observations for the series and continue through its cursors. A dated point request returns one observation at or before your chosen date. The policy-rate documentation describes the shared response fields.
