What is Interest Rate?
"Interest Rate" is the amount of profit that a bank pays to investors for deposits.
Central banks worldwide use this concept to control inflation, economic growth, and increase or decrease of currency values; thus, interest rates directly impact financial markets [cryptocurrency, forex, stocks, etc.], demand levels, and volatility.
Using TradingFinder's interest rate tool, you'll stay informed about the latest interest rate changes of all central banks.
