<h3>Are both rate decisions and forward guidance changes included?</h3><p>Yes. Both formal rate decisions (hold, hike, or cut) and standalone forward guidance changes — such as shifts in meeting statement language or official speeches signalling a policy change — are included and distinguished by action type.</p><h3>Are dissenting votes captured?</h3><p>Yes. Where a committee member voted against the majority decision, their name and the nature of their dissent are captured in a dedicated field.</p><h3>Which central banks are covered?</h3><p>The Federal Reserve (FOMC), European Central Bank (Governing Council), Bank of England (Monetary Policy Committee), and Bank of Japan. The Fed generates the most records due to the volume of FOMC-related coverage and minutes releases.</p><h3>What is the refresh rate of this dataset?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
