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 broker are not delivered to the buyer, broker should pay trader an interest based on the difference between "short" currency interest rate and "long" currency interest rate.
