## Quality Report

- **Quality Score**: 95 / 100

- **Missing Values**: 0%.

## Privacy and Sensitivity Review

- **Privacy Level**: P0 (aggregate facility usage, no personal data)
- **Personal Data Present**: No
- **Sensitive Data Present**: No
- **Redactions Applied**: None

## Bias, Gaps, and Limitations

- Facility usage is a liquidity-operation measure and should not be interpreted as a complete policy-rate series.
- The original workbook is a legacy `.xls` file and may change format in future SBP updates.

## Example Usage

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("data/processed/interest_rate_corridor.csv")
df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["date"])
print(df.tail())
```
