Abstract

We introduce a new interactive database that allows users to easily retrieve and customise detailed information on central banks monetary policy operating procedures (MPOPs). These procedures govern the day-to-day implementation of monetary policy in markets. After a high-level conceptual overview of how MPOPs have evolved over the past decade, we showcase common trends and selected cross-country differences. We discuss, in particular, how the persistent environment of excess liquidity and the effective interest rate lower bound shaped MPOPs in the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007–09.
