The euro short-term rate (€STR), along with any related data and information such as compounded average rates and the €STR index, is published by the European Central Bank (ECB) solely for public informational purposes. It’s important for anyone tracking the Euro Hoy – the euro’s performance today – to understand the limitations associated with this data.
The ECB and the national central banks within the Eurosystem, while contributing to the process of determining the euro short-term rate, explicitly state that they cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or errors present in the rate or its associated information. This disclaimer extends to any delays in updates and, crucially, to any consequences arising from the use, misuse, or inability to use this rate and information in financial instruments, contracts, trading activities, or investment decisions.
Essentially, the ECB provides the €STR data without any guarantees or warranties. This means there’s no assurance, either expressed or implied, regarding the data’s currency, accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability, or suitability for any specific purpose. Therefore, the ECB firmly disclaims any liability or responsibility for losses, damages, expenses, or claims – be they direct, indirect, or consequential – that may occur due to reliance on, use of, or the inability to utilize the €STR data. This holds true regardless of foreseeability or whether the ECB was aware of the intended application of the rate or information.

Therefore, users of the €STR, when considering the euro hoy and related financial decisions, must acknowledge the informational nature of this data and the explicit limitations of liability outlined by the ECB.
