ECB monetary policy decision changes since 2020

Every ECB monetary policy decisions release Kresmion holds, newest first, compared word by word with the one before it. Each date opens that release's record, with the full text marked up.

The ECB's monetary policy decisions release of October 29, 2026 changed 36.8% of its words from the September 10, 2026 release: 103 words added, 226 removed.

Kresmion compares the published text of each ECB monetary policy decisions release with the previous release, word by word, once, when the release is stored: the share of words changed is one minus twice the words kept over the words of both texts, and the counts are the words removed from the earlier text and the words added in the later one. The texts themselves are shown as published on each record page.

Method and limits

These are Kresmion's comparisons of texts the European Central Bank published, computed by Kresmion, not by the European Central Bank. Each row links to the record of that release, with its full text marked up word by word against the one before it, its source time and its licence.

A release the ECB changes in place after publication is kept as a second text and compared with the first. A row with no numbers has no comparison stored yet, or is the first release Kresmion holds.

This redline modifies the ECB's published texts: the marks are Kresmion's. Both texts as published are available free of charge on the ECB's website (ecb.europa.eu).

Kresmion compares the published text of each ECB monetary policy decisions release with the previous release, word by word, once, when the release is stored: the share of words changed is one minus twice the words kept over the words of both texts, and the counts are the words removed from the earlier text and the words added in the later one. The texts themselves are shown as published on each record page.
