More on LIBOR
The London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) can be described as the wholesale cost of mon
London interbank money market. Though the LIBOR rates are fixed in the United Kingdom, A
consumers need to understand how LIBOR works, since LIBOR is used as an index in the pric
many types of consumer loans in the United States.
LIBOR is the average interest rate charged when banks in the London interbank money mark
unsecured funds from each other. There are many different LIBOR rates (maturities range fr
overnight to 12 months) for numerous currencies, including Eurodollars. A Eurodollar is an A
dollar on deposit in any bank outside the United States, and is therefore not subject to regul
the U.S. Federal Reserve.
LIBOR rates are fixed every UK business day by the international media company Thomson R
association with the British Bankers' Association (BBA), a not-for-profit trade association.
Just before 11:00 a.m. GMT, the BBA polls a specific panel of highly reputable, high-volume
which participate in the London wholesale money market. The BBA finds out the rate at whic
bank on the panel could borrow Eurodollars from other banks, for specific maturities. The BB
out the central tendency -- the interquartile mean -- for each maturity, then publishes these

Three American banks are included in the panel surveyed by the BBA for Eurodollar fixing: C
Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. There are also 13 non-U.S. banks surveyed for Eurod
fixing in London, bringing the total Eurodollar panel count to 16. To get the interquartile mea
each maturity, the BBA starts with the 16 rates, discards the four lowest and four highest ra
determines the average of the remaining 8 rates.
Back in the mid-1980's, the international banking system adopted LIBOR as a much needed
benchmark for short-term, interbank loans. The LIBOR rates are now globally recognized ind
for pricing many types of consumer and corporate loans, debt instruments and debt securitie
the globe. For example, LIBOR is used as a benchmark for the vast majority of interest-only
The United States.
