Inflation, interest and real rates by country

What money earns or loses in real terms. Given countries (two or more ISO alpha-2 codes), returns side by side: consumer-price inflation (World Bank, latest annual, plus the IMF's monthly year-on-year figure where available), the central-bank policy rate (BIS, newest month; the ECB's single rate for euro-area members, flagged viaEuroArea), deposit and lending rates (World Bank, where published), and the real rates the engine computes from them by the exact Fisher relation — only when the nominal rate and the inflation figure are within a year of each other. Without countries, ranks the 41-country spine by one metric. A country missing a metric lacks the key and is dropped from a ranking, never scored 0. Real rates are ex post (last year's inflation), not expectations; a projection at the latest rate is flat, not a forecast.
