FACTBOX-Global interest rates in 2010

(Updates with Romania rate cut)

LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Denmark's central bank cut its key lending rate by
10 basis points to 1.05 percent to ease strengthening pressure on the crown
currency on Thursday, in a surprise move just a week after its last cut.

As a result the average rate set by 11 leading central banks -- the five
that decide monetary policy for the G7 nations plus six other major banks --
fell to 1.05 percent from 1.08 percent.

On May 7, the European Central Bank cut its main interest rate by 25 basis
points to 1.0 percent. As a result, the average rate set by central banks of the
Group of Seven nations fell to 0.40 percent from 0.45 percent.

official policy rates during the economic cycle rather than actual borrowing
costs.
