Central Bank Interest Rates

Central bank interest rate (also called overnight rate) is the rate, which is used by the country's central banking institution to lend short-term money to the country's commercial banks. Interest rates also play an important role in Forex market. Because the currencies bought via a broker are not delivered to the buyer, the broker should pay interest to traders based on the difference between "short" currency interest rate and "long" currency interest rate.
