Notes:

[a] Prior to May 2012 the Official Bank rate was published to two decimal places but has since been changed to four decimal places for consistency.

The minimum lending rate was raised to 12%, and planned to be raised to 15% (with effect from 17th September 1992; but never implemented). Please see: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/archive/Documents/historicpubs/qb/1992/qb92q4382398.pdf for further explanation of changes implement to the minimum lending rate on "Black Wednesday".

[c] These data have been discontinued with effect from 20th July 2017.

[d] Calculated using the Variable Roughness Penalty (VRP) model.

[e] The monthly average figure is calculated using the available daily observations within each month.
