A tool for the latest Central Bank Interest Rates

As I’ve “crawled” the forums I see several people asking where they can get the Central Bank Interest Rates for the respective countries. I have yet to see a good answer (Oanda’s calculator is interesting but hard to understand for noobs, like me).

I can see the validity in wanting to know this to know why your account was debited/credited something that doesn’t show in the spread or price movement. Or if you want to play the interest rate spread on a sideways trending pair.

So. I propose that we have a quick chart/list of the banks and their current interest rates. I’ll even maintain it! (Yes, I’m serious about that but I need help getting the data.)

I’d suggest the the columns tracked should look something like this:

Central Bank | Current Rate | Last Change Date | Submitted By | Notes

Therefore we as a “hive mind” can have a useable quickly referenceable (and understandable) list.
