LIBOR stands for the London Interbank Offered Rate and is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks in the London wholesale (or "interbank") money market.
It is based on inter-bank deposit rates offered by designated contributor banks. It is compiled by the BBA and released to the market at about 11:00 each day.
For a precise definition of BBA LIBOR, see the BBA website.
LIBOR is published by the British Bankers Association (BBA) shortly after 11:00 each day, London time, and is a filtered average of inter-bank deposit rates offered by designated contributor banks, for maturities ranging from overnight to one year.
Apart from the US dollar and, of course Pound Sterling, currencies for which LIBOR is a significant reference rate currently include the Swiss Franc, the Yen, the Canadian dollar and the Danish Krone.
