### Principal findings
- For about three decades until the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Covered Interest Parity (CIP) appeared to hold quite closely—even as a broad macroeconomic relationship applying to daily or weekly data.
- CIP deviations have significantly increased since the GFC.
- Potential macrofinancial drivers of the variation in CIP deviations have become significant since the GFC.
- The variation in CIP deviations is associated with multiple factors, not only regulatory changes.
- Most potential drivers do not display a uniform importance across currency pairs and time.
- Some drivers are associated with possible temporary considerations (such as asynchronous monetary policy cycles).
