Data as of May 7, 2025. The U.S. rate has been manually adjusted to reflect the midpoint of the target range.
The U.S. has kept the target range at 4.25-4.50%. In their decision, the Federal Reserve cited that although an influx of imports caused a GDP decline, economic activity has “continued to expand at a solid pace.” The Federal Reserve also noted that the unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level, but that inflation remains somewhat elevated and economic uncertainty has increased.
In their latest economic projections in March, the Federal Reserve forecast that there will likely be two rate cuts by the end of 2025, bringing the target range down to 3.75-4.00%.
The Lowest and Highest Rates
Switzerland and Fiji have the lowest rate of 0.25%. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) lowered its rate by a quarter point in March, citing increasing uncertainty over the global impact of U.S. trade policies. The country’s inflation has since fallen to 0% in April, and the SNB has indicated they are ready to cut rates further to maintain price stability.
On the other hand, Venezuela (59.4%) and Türkiye (46.0%) have the highest rates globally. Central banks in both countries are responding to high inflation and dropping currency values against the U.S. dollar.
