Where the calendar’s dates come from

Every date in the economic calendar comes from one of the publishers below, under the terms each one sets. This page lists them, the licence each publishes under, the credit each asks for, and how far ahead each has published its dates.

TapeSheet is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any of these publishers. Their names are used only to say where a date comes from. The dates were last checked against every publisher’s own calendar on 27 September 2026. The calendar holds dates to the end of 2027; some publishers have already announced later ones.

What we do to the dates

Nothing, apart from showing each time in the zones you choose. A date the publisher gives is copied as given, together with a link to the page it came from. Where a publisher calls a date provisional or expected, the calendar marks it provisional.

Some release calendars give a date but no time. There the time shown is the one the publisher states for that release elsewhere: 14:00 New York for the Federal Reserve, 14:15 Frankfurt for the ECB, 11:00 Luxembourg for Eurostat, 08:30 Tokyo for Japan’s CPI, 08:30 Eastern for Statistics Canada, and the release times Stats SA used for its most recent CPI and GDP.

Some releases are placed by the publisher’s own rule rather than a dated list, and are marked as such: US jobless claims, which come out every Thursday; US crude oil stocks, every Wednesday; and the Federal Reserve’s minutes, three weeks after each decision, until the Fed puts a date on them. In a week with a US public holiday, jobless claims and crude stocks can move, and the calendar says the time is not yet published until the publisher gives it.

Market holidays are the same ones the market hours clock uses, and clock changes are worked out from standard time-zone rules.

Who is not listed, and why

Some central banks’ terms of use limit reuse of their material to non-commercial purposes, or require permission first, and this is a commercial site meant to be paid for by advertising. So the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the Swiss National Bank and the South African Reserve Bank are not listed. Nor is the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, whose terms could not be confirmed. The calendar also leaves out forecasts and consensus numbers, which come from paid surveys, and figures from private survey firms.
