Engagement
A typical post picks up 65 interactions against 825K followers, an engagement rate of 0.008%. Measured over 26 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 4,199 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 0.398% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.98% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.87 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 26 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 96% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 473 interactions, about 7.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #economicbulletin, #europaopenair.

Compared with accounts its own size
European Central Bank's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,199 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 28% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.008%, European Central Bank sits above the 10th percentile of the 40,619 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.013%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- What is European Central Bank's engagement rate on X?
- European Central Bank (@ecb) has an engagement rate of 0.008%, based on the median interactions across 26 original posts from the last 30 days against 824,650 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.008%, European Central Bank sits above the 10th percentile of the 40,619 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @ecb have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,199 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @ecb post?
- Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.87 posts per day across the measured window.
