Classroom Resource - Global Interest Rate Tracker

Interactive data visualisations are becoming an increasingly useful resource in the economics classroom. Here is another excellent example that is well worth bookmarking. The Wall Street Journal provide this up-to-date tracker of bank base rates. Moving the slider across the timeline, you get a visual sense for whether rates are rising, on hold, declining etc. Hovering over an individual country gives you the current rate for that nation together with the next expected rate decision date.
