Source and interpretation

Sources: national central banks, each read directly.

Licence: publisher terms (per country). Reuse remains subject to this source’s terms.

The period and stored status columns reproduce this catalog’s source fields. An empty status means no stored flag, not a guarantee that the publisher supplied none. U-marked numeric readings are withheld; B-marked readings interrupt chart continuity. Other codes require the source’s own guidance. This viewer does not establish original release dates, complete revision history or comparable national methods.
