How the data is built

Official numbers, checked against what the market is doing.

Official sources

Central bank and European Central Bank reference rates for thirteen currency pairs are collected automatically. US trade notices, the US Treasury sanctions list and the US tariff schedule are read automatically. Board of Investment, Ministry of Commerce, central bank, customs and sanctions-authority releases are logged as they publish.

Market observation

Market exchange-rate ranges and border status are recorded from Matthews' contacts in the region's border trading markets. Sources are never named, and these figures are observations of price, not offers to deal.

Research

Sector breakdowns, chamber sentiment and policy reads are compiled by Matthews Strategic Advisory, the team behind its published Deep Dive reports.

Independent by design. Matthews Terminal publishes data and analysis only. It does not route payments, arrange transactions or act for any party in the markets it covers.

Who uses it

Corridor risk, settlement trends and sanctions designations in one view for credit, KYC and correspondent-banking teams.

Questions

Before you subscribe

How current is the data?

Official exchange rates refresh automatically through the day. Parallel rates and border status are confirmed daily, mineral prices weekly, and investment, approvals and settlement data as each release publishes. Each panel shows its as-of date.

What can I see without subscribing?

The FX function and the indicator strip are open to everyone. A free account adds the US tariff lookup, live US trade actions, tariffs and trade flows, the policy and deadline calendar, every alert and an optional weekly digest email. All twelve functions are available to subscribers, including during the 14-day free trial.

Does Matthews Terminal arrange payments or trades?

No. The terminal publishes observed prices and research only. It does not route money, quote rates to deal on, or give investment advice.

Can we take the data into our own systems?

Yes, under a data licence. Select "Data licence" in the access form and we will send the delivery options.
