Interest & exchange rates

Search for interest rates and exchange rates in the Riksbank's database

The Riksbank’s database contains round 60 interest rate series, Swedish and foreign, as well as around 50 exchange rate series. Two different search methods can be used:

  • Simple search of a group of interest rates or exchange rates, and
  • Advanced search of a group of interest rates or exchange rates, or alternatively of all series.

Group here refers to, for instance, Stibor, treasury bills, etc.

 

Simple search

Using the simple search function (click on any of the headings on the left) gives access to all available series within an interest rate or exchange rate group. Select the time period and how the result should be shown. It is possible to select daily rates, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual averages. The result is shown in an excel file that is created when you click on "search".

  

Advanced search within a group

An advanced search within the selected group is carried out by clicking on the heading Advanced search above the actual search box. The advanced search makes it possible to select individual series within the respective interest rate or exchange rate groups, as well as calculation method, different types of presentation (HTML, excel table, CSV and text file) and decimal separators.

 

Advanced search of interest and exchange rates

An advanced search of all series can be made by selecting Advanced search of interest and exchange rates in the menu on the left. This makes all interest rate and exchange rate series available for search and enables selection of calculation method, different types of presentation (HTML, CSV, Excel table and Text file) as well as decimal separators.

 

Database updates

The database is usually updated twice a day, at around 9 a.m. and around 12 noon.

 

Calculations

When selecting weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual averages, the calculation is only based on whole weeks (Monday – Sunday), months, quarters and years, that is, all listings for a week, month, quarter or year must be in the database before a result is calculated.
