 Methodological notes

The monetary policy interest rate is the interest rate on NBR’s main open-market operations. Currently, these are repo operations with a maturity of one week, executed in the form of tenders, at a fixed interest rate.

The interest rates on the NBR’s standing facilities (deposit facility and lending facility) set a symmetrical corridor around the monetary policy rate.
