London Interbank Offered Rate. It is a standard interest rate at
which major global banks lend to one another in the international
interbank market for short-term loans.LIBOR is the average interest
rate at which major global banks borrow from one another. It is
based on five currencies including the US dollar, the euro, the
British pound, the Japanese yen, and the Swiss franc and seven
different maturities.The most commonly quoted rate is the
three-month U.S. dollar rate, usually referred to as the current
LIBOR rate.
The rate is calculated using the Waterfall Methodology, a
standardised, transaction-based, data-driven, layered method.
EURO DOLLOR :
Eurodollars refer to dollar-denominated accounts at foreign banks or overseas branches of American banks.The eurodollar market is one of the world's biggest capital markets and consists of sophisticated financial instruments.
