The Deposit Facility Rate is one of the three key interest rates set by the European Central Bank (ECB). It defines the interest banks receive for making overnight deposits with the central bank. This rate is crucial because it effectively sets a floor for the overnight market interest rate and influences the entire yield curve.
The rate is determined by the ECB Governing Council during their monetary policy meetings held every six weeks. It is set as a fixed percentage based on the central bank's inflation targets and economic outlook.
