The most recent interest rate announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve was on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, when they announced a quarter-point rate cut, lowering the benchmark interest rate to a range of 4.00% to 4.25%. This was the first rate cut of the year after holding rates steady at 4.25% to 4.50% for several meetings. The Fed also indicated that two more rate cuts could be made by the end of 2025.
For other central banks:
- The European Central Bank (ECB) last made its rate decision on July 24, 2025, and its next announcement is not until later in 2025.
- The Swedish Riksbank’s next interest rate announcement is expected on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
If the interest rate announcement referenced was for the Fed, it takes place roughly every six weeks, and the latest was just yesterday.
