Note: Interest rates at year-end or as from the date stated.

As from April 1992 until end-April 1997 interest-earning deposits were subject to maximum limits. Until end-March 1992 the banks also had access to drawings on current account. The rate of interest for these drawings was 0.5 to 1 per cent higher.
Danmarks Nationalbank's interest rate for collateralised lending as well as for sale and repurchase of the Nationalbank's certificates of deposit. On purchasing certificates of deposit before expiry the Nationalbank's buy-back price is normally based on a slightly higher interest rate. The interest rates stated exclude this premium. Until 21 June 1999 the Nationalbank's lending rate was called the repo rate.
