KIBOR

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The Karachi Interbank Offered Rate (KIBOR) is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the Karachi wholesale (or "interbank") money market.[1] The banks used it as a benchmark in their lending to corporate sector.[2]

It is also known as the benchmark rate and is published by Financial Market Association of Pakistan.[2]

Process[edit]

It is quoted daily by participating banks on Reuters at 11:30 am.[3] With 20 member banks, KIBOR rates are calculated by averaging the middle twelve rates, excluding the four highest and four lowest quotes.[4]
