Ranking is the calendar supplier's, one to four stars. ★★★ and above is what it marks out as market-moving; nothing here assigns a ranking of its own, and a blank means nobody published one.
Policy rates
Figures for the releases this publication tracks itself come from the agency that published them. The rest of the calendar, along with the forecast and importance columns, comes from a calendar supplier; no free official source publishes a consensus expectation or a market-importance ranking. A cell reads empty where nobody stated a figure. 743 further entries are held back from the English calendar because no English-language publisher has yet been seen naming them; they appear in the Chinese one.
