The ECB's deposit facility rate is unchanged at 2.50%, matching the level set on September 10, 2026. The main refinancing operations rate holds at 2.65%, against 2.65% at the previous decision. The marginal lending facility rate holds at 2.90%, against 2.90% before.
The Governing Council put the decision this way: “The interest rates on the deposit facility, the main refinancing operations and the marginal lending facility will remain unchanged at 2.50%, 2.65% and 2.90% respectively.” All three rates therefore stay where they were at the previous meeting. The ECB's next rate decision is due Thursday, Dec. 17, 2026, and you can follow it in the ECB rate decision calendar.
