Central-bank communications, as structured data.

Every policy statement, set of minutes, speech and press-conference transcript from the Bank of England, Federal Reserve and ECB. Taken from each bank's own website, split into individual sentences, and tagged with the bank, date and source, so you can search a decade of it in one query.

What it is · 01

A decade of monetary policy, turned from prose into data

Central-bank communication is where interest-rate expectations get set, but it lives in long PDFs and web pages that are hard to search and impossible to compare at scale. We take each document from the bank's own site and turn it into searchable, comparable sentence-level data — every sentence tagged with the bank, document type, date and a link back to the original.

You can then interrogate the whole policy record: filter by bank and period, track a phrase across a decade, or point an AI assistant at it and ask what changed.

Statements

Rate decisions and policy statements, the market-moving core.

Minutes

The committee's reasoning and vote splits, meeting by meeting.

Speeches

Where individual policymakers signal ahead of the committee.

Transcripts

Press-conference Q&A — the unscripted, most revealing part.

Coverage · 02

Exactly what's covered — per bank, per document type

Every figure on this page is checkable. Here is exactly what's covered, bank by bank and document type by document type.

A small number of documents are published only as PDFs — some older BoE speeches, Fed press-conference transcripts and recent ECB slide decks — and sit outside the grid above. Everything shown is complete and machine-readable. Further banks and document types can be added for a specific use case.

What you can ask · 03

Built for interrogation

Because every sentence is tagged with its bank, date and source, questions that used to mean reading hundreds of PDFs become a single query.

Tone

"When did the ECB pivot from 'elevated' to 'moderating' on inflation?"

Track a phrase's frequency and framing across a decade of statements.

Divergence

"Where do the Fed and the BoE disagree on the labour market right now?"

Compare framing across banks on the same theme, side by side.

Forward guidance

"Which speeches signalled a cut before the committee moved?"

Surface the individual-policymaker signals that lead the decision.

Every quote resolves to the exact sentence in the ECB's own published document.
The study · 04

"A decade of inflation talk" — the dataset, demonstrated

A free, interactive study built from the dataset: how the BoE, Fed and ECB each talked about inflation from 2015 to today, their tone plotted against the events that moved it, with every point drilling down to the source sentence.

Why primary-source · 05

Where every document comes from

Primary sources only

Every document comes from the central bank's own website, not a reseller or aggregator. Academic and BIS datasets are used only to verify that our coverage is complete — never as source content.

Numbers you can check

Every count on this page comes from the coverage grid above, and the grid tells you exactly where each figure comes from. Check it yourself.

Traceable to the sentence

Each record keeps its source link and position, so any answer points back to the exact sentence in the bank's published text. An analyst can check it; so can an AI agent.

Access

Query it your way. Or just ask.

Pull it over the API, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable assistant and ask in plain English. Tell us the question you'd want answered and we'll run it against the live data with you.
