Readers Question: How can I find data on Historical interest rates nominal and real
Graph of Interest rates since 1985
UK Base Rates
Base Rates and Commercial Rates
Base Rates and Variable Rates
This graph shows how commercial banks do not necessarily follow the base rate changes. The very low interest rates of 2009, gave many commercial banks an opportunity to increase their profit margins and improve their balance sheets.
Real Interest rates
See: Real interest rate history in UK

I would like to know what the annual interest rates
were on a basic savings account with NAT WEAT BANK
from March 1993 to December 2009.
I need this information to access compound interest on a deposit given to a property company on 1st march 1993. Can you help!
An average annual rate will be surficiant as apposed to the actual rate per month, per year.
Thank if you can help
