# Economic Events
Upcoming central bank meetings and macroeconomic releases that can move interest rates, filtered by country, currency, importance and date.
**Economic Events** lists upcoming central bank meetings and macroeconomic releases that may affect interest rates. Events are selected for their potential impact on swap markets and interest rate expectations. Open it from the sidebar under **Market Data → Economic Events**.
***
### 1. Read the Upcoming Events Table
The **Upcoming Events** card lists one row per event.
| Column | What it shows |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Date** | The day, date and time of the event |
| **Country** | The country or region it relates to |
| **Currency** | That country's currency |
| **Event** | The event name |
| **Importance** | **Low**, **Medium**, **High**, **Very High** or **Critical** |
| **Action** | **View** opens the event's details |
The footer shows when the list was last updated.
***
### 2. Filter the List
The filters sit above the table:
* **Search events...**: matches event names and descriptions, country names and currency codes.
* **All Countries**: pick one country. This also sets the currency filter to that country's currency, which you can then change.
* **All Currencies**: pick one currency. The first time you open the page, it starts on your default currency.
* **All Importance**: show one importance level.
* **Pick a date range**: limit the list to events between two dates.
Each active filter appears as a chip under the filters. Click the cross on a chip to remove that filter, or **Clear Filters** to reset the country, currency, importance and date range together.
Your country, currency and importance choices are remembered in your browser, so the page opens with the same filters next time. If nothing matches, the table shows **No events found**.
***
### 3. View an Event
Click a row, or **View** at the end of it, to open **Event Details**:
| Field | What it shows |
| --------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Event** | The event name |
| **Country** | The country or region |
| **Date** | The day, date and time |
| **Importance** | The importance level |
| **Description** | A short description of the event |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://www.bluegamma.io/documentation/market-data-guides/economic-events.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
