LIBOR and MIFOR
2Ashit Hegde
LIBOR is London Interbank offered Rate.
Libor is calculated and published by Thomson Reuters on behalf of British Banks Association . This is an index of the rate which a first class bank in London will charge another first class bank for a short term lending.
It is available for seven different maturities—from overnight to twelve months and in five different currencies including Euro, USD, Pound and Yen.

MIBOR is Mumbai Interbank Offer Rate
This reference rate originally developed by NSE is now co-branded with FIMMDA and is now known as “ FIMMDA – NSE MIBOR “.
Mibor is based on rates polled by NSE from a representative panel of 30 banks, institutions and mutual funds. The rate is used as a benchmark for majority of deals struck for swaps, FRAs etc
NSE releases this rate at 0955 hours for overnight rate and at 1215 hrs for other periods.

MIFOR is Mumbai Inter bank Forex Offer Rate
This is a combination of USD Libor and forward premium.
Note: There is a proposal to shift the setting of Mibor from the existing polling method to volume weighted average of trades executed between 9am and 10am.
