How to display the current interest rate, inflation rate, or GDP growth rate on your website
I receive a lot of emails asking about the current inflation and interest rates. So I decided to create a few widgets.
You can use these widgets if you want to display the current interest rates, inflation rates and/or GDP growth rates on your own blog or website.
The widgets automatically fetch the latest figures that are available.
If, for example, the SARB decides to adjust the repo rate, the widgets will automatically fetch and display the new repo and prime rate figures.

Can you add the following to your “Latest Rates” table:
Exchange Rates:
R/$US
R/ GB pond
R/euro
Oil Price per Barrel
I want to display all the rates as a one pager on my PC every day.

@Marius
I agree those are useful.
I’ll have a look if I can add a table for exchange rates.
