The London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) is the rate that most international banks charge one another for overnight loans of Eurodollars in the London market.

LIBOR is a cornerstone in the pricing of money market issues and other short-term debt issues by both government and corporate borrowers. Interest rates are frequently quoted as some spread over LIBOR, and they then fl oat with the LIBOR rate.
