        World of Finance by M.Vijaya Sai What Is the LIBOR Interest Rate? The LIBOR, or London Interbank Offered Rate, is a rate at which banks can borrow money from one another. This rate is updated daily and is offered on unsecured (no-collateral) loans. The LIBOR is often used as an index on adjustable-rate mortgages. LIBOR is a benchmark rate that is used in international money markets and published daily by the British Bankers Association (BBA), a banking industry trade group.

It is determined by rates that banks participating in the London money market offer each other for short-term deposits. LIBOR is used in determining the price of many other financial derivatives, including interest rate futures, swaps and Euro dollars. Due to London's importance as a global financial center, LIBOR applies not only to the Pound Sterling, but also to major currencies such as the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar. LIBOR is determined every morning at 11:00am London time. A department of the British Bankers Association averages the inter-bank interest rates being offered by its membership. LIBOR is calculated for periods as short as overnight and as long as one year. While the rates banks offer each other vary continuously throughout the day, LIBOR is fixed for the 24 hour period. G
