ecb

European Central Bank Interest Rates.

The Governing Council of the ECB sets the key interest rates for the euro area:

• The interest rate on the main refinancing operations (MRO), which provide the bulk of liquidity to the banking system.
• The rate on the deposit facility, which banks may use to make overnight deposits with the Eurosystem.
• The rate on the marginal lending facility, which offers overnight credit to banks from the Eurosystem.

Examples

from openbb import obb
obb.fixedincome.rate.ecb(provider='fred')
obb.fixedincome.rate.ecb(interest_rate_type='refinancing', provider='fred')
