How to read this series

Interest and policy rates. The rates the central bank sets (its policy rate, the reserve requirements and its standing facilities) and the average rates commercial banks charge on loans in rufiyaa and in foreign currency.

  • Changes in a rate or ratio are given in percentage points, the plain difference between two readings.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
