The name of this property reflects this compromise and would be changed to "Tenor" once a suitable range exists for this property. a predicate indicating the length of time for which the interbank rate is quoted expressed as a number of days a predicate indicating the length of time for which the interbank rate is quoted, e.g., 3 months, 6 months expressed as a number of months This is set at intervals. a reference rate that is the base rate set by a central bank for a given currency US federal funds rate fed funds rate a reference rate that is the interest rate at which a depository institution lends funds maintained at the Federal Reserve to another depository institution overnight By trading government securities, the New York Fed affects the federal funds rate, which is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances to each other overnight. The Federal Open Market Committee establishes the target rate for trading in the federal funds market. The federal funds rate is generally only applicable to the most creditworthy institutions when they borrow and lend overnight funds to each other. The federal funds rate is one of the most influential interest rates in the U.S. economy, since it affects monetary and financial conditions, which in turn have a bearing on key aspects of the broad economy including employment, growth and inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is the Federal Reserve's primary monetary policymaking body, telegraphs its desired target for the federal funds rate through open market operations. an interbank rate that is the interest rate at which participating banks are willing to borrow deposits from other banks Unlike an interbank offered rate, which is the rate at which banks lend money, an interbank bid rate is the rate at which banks ask to borrow. an interbank rate that represents the mid-point between bid and offer rates an interbank rate that is the interest rate at which participating banks lend money Banks borrow and lend money in the interbank market in order to manage liquidity and meet the requirements placed on them.
