What this data is
Policy rates for Peru
The Bank for International Settlements maintains a single daily series of every major central bank's policy rate, on the same basis and in the same file. That's the source here. For each economy the page shows the current rate, when it last changed and by how much, and the history back to the start of the series.
Policy rates set the floor for every other yield in a currency. Their direction, more than their level, drives currency positioning and the funding cost of every leveraged trade in that currency.
This page follows Peru only. The full list, the method notes and the cross-market view live on the Policy rates hub.

How to read it
- Count the steps, not the basis points. A bank that has moved three times in one direction is in a cycle.
- Rate differentials between two economies are what carry trades and currency futures respond to. Pair this page with the COT currency markets.
- The last-change date tells you where a bank is in its cycle; a long pause after a run of moves is usually the top or the bottom.
