LIBOR

London Inter-Bank Offer Rate. The Interest rate that the banks Charge each other for loans (usually in Eurodollars). This rate is applicable to the short-term International interbank market, and applies to very large loans borrowed for anywhere from one day to five years. This Market allows banks with Liquidity requirements to Borrow quickly from other banks with surpluses, enabling banks to avoid holding excessively large amounts of their Asset base as Liquid assets. The LIBOR is officially fixed once a day by a small group of large London banks, but the rate changes throughout the day.
