reference_rates

Get current, official, currency reference rates.

Foreign exchange reference rates are the exchange rates set by a major financial institution or regulatory body, serving as a benchmark for the value of currencies around the world. These rates are used as a standard to facilitate international trade and financial transactions, ensuring consistency and reliability in currency conversion. They are typically updated on a daily basis and reflect the market conditions at a specific time. Central banks and financial institutions often use these rates to guide their own exchange rates, impacting global trade, loans, and investments.
