Long-term interest rate statistics

Long-term interest rate statistics relate to interest rates for long-term government bonds denominated in Euro for euro area Member States and in national currencies for Member States that have not adopted the Euro at the time of publication.  The long-term interest rate statistics are released monthly on the ECB website on the 8th working day of the month.

The LTIR database contains statistics on interest rates for Member States that joined the EU, and a limited set of capital and money market interest rate statistics for EU candidate and Potential Candidate Countries. 

The data on Long-term Interest Rates for member-states that joined the EU prior 2001 are provided by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

The domain of Interest Rate Statistics contains

• the national central bank’s official rates, 
• money market interest rates, 
• capital market interest rates.

The database includes country level time series denominated in national currency and expressed in percentage per annum.
