Calendar
The dates the capitals have fixed in advance: each bloc's rate decision where its central bank publishes a schedule, the summits, national elections in the G20 once called, and the deadlines set in treaties and law. Every date is read at the page that announced it, linked beside it. Dates are calendar days; we do not claim an hour.

Not listed, and why
- Beijing: The People's Bank of China publishes no fixed meeting schedule.
- The Gulf: The Gulf central banks move with the Fed and publish no schedule of their own.
- Elections: Only national votes in G20 countries, and only once the body that calls them has fixed the date. A vote that is reported, or due by law but not yet called, goes on when it is.
- OPEC+: The producers announce one meeting at a time, so only the next one is listed.
