There is no safe investment of any kind. Even bonds or cash have risks.

This stuff is immensely complicated once you peer behind the curtains.

Putting money at the central bank (deposit facility) is safe
That's not an investment, though, there's no return on investment. It's just storage.
No you get the overnight rate. Currently 4.65% for USD and 3% for EUR
Oh, interesting, thank you!
