The 5,000-year history of interest rates shows just how historically low US rates are right now
[Stele of Narâm-Sîn, king of Akkad] The Federal Reserve continues to keep its benchmark interest rate target pegged to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%. That's low. Interestingly, rates aren't just low within the context of American history. They also happen to be at the lowest levels in the last 5,000 years of civilization. Citing a speech by Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane, Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Michael Hartnett and his team previously shared the following chart, which shows just how low today's rates are relative to other times in history: [screen shot 2015 09 18 at 10.12.09 am] Haldane's list of sources for this is pretty staggering (you can look through them all here). So to make things a bit clearer, we put together an annotated list of key historical episodes and the corresponding interest rate of the time, using the data from "The Trader and his Shadow." Check them out below: * Mesopotamia, c 3000 BC: 20% * Babylon, Code of Hammurabi, 1772 BC: codified earlier Sumerian custom of 20%. * Persian conquest (King Cyrus takes Babylon), 539 BC: rates of 40+%. * Greece, Temple at Delos, c. 500 BC: 10% * Rome, Twelve Tables, 443 BC: 8.33% * Athens/Rome: circa the first two Punic Wars, 300-200 BC: 8% * Rome: 1 AD: 4% * Rome, under Diocletian, 300 AD: 15% (ESTIMATED) * Byzantine Empire, under Constantine, 325 AD: LIMIT 12.5% * Byzantine Empire, Code of Justinian, 528 AD: LIMIT 8% * Italian cities, c. 1150: 20% * Venice, 1430s: 20% * Venice, (Leonardo da Vinci paints "The Last Supper in Milan), 1490s:6.25% * Holland, beginning of the Eighty Years' War, 1570s: 8.13% * England, 1700s: 9.92% * US, West Florida annexed by the US, 1810s: 7.64% * US, circa World War II, 1940s: 1.85% * US, Reagan administration, 1980s: 15.84% * US, Fed does not hike rates in September 2015: 0-0.25% * US, Fed does hike rates in December 2015: 0.25-0.5% SEE ALSO: THIS IS SAUDI ARABIA'S "ACHILLES' HEEL" Join the conversation about this story » NOW WATCH: NASA released the sharpest photos of Pluto in history — and they're spectacular
