Understanding the Euro Rate of Exchange: Daily Reference Rates

The Euro Rate Of Exchange is a crucial benchmark in the global financial market, reflecting the value of the Euro against other world currencies. These rates are officially published by the European Central Bank (ECB) as reference rates and are updated daily to provide transparency and consistency.

These reference rates are typically updated at approximately 16:00 CET every working day, except on TARGET closing days. This ensures that the rates reflect the most recent market conditions from across Europe.

The rates are calculated based on a daily concertation procedure among central banks in Europe, which usually takes place around 14:10 CET. It is important to note that these rates are published for informational purposes. The ECB explicitly discourages using these reference rates for transactional purposes, as they are indicative and not intended for direct trading.
