Central Banks Rate Decisions Calendar
In the VipTrade News Bank Calendar, you will find a meeting schedule of major central banks.
During these sessions, regulators make decisions on key interest rates and other monetary policy stances, such as quantitative easing and prudential policy (whether they should be changed). We recommend that traders keep an eye on these events as they may cause a significant impact. For more information on each specific meeting, the holding period and the financial assets affected, visit our economic calendar.
