How is the the London Interbank Bid Rate Used?

LIBOR is the amount of interest charged by a bank on money it lends to other banks in a specific currency for a certain amount of time. Although, there are actually 35 rates issued every day, the standard rates is calculated for five currencies, the Swiss Franc, the Euro, the Pound Sterling, the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. The ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) is responsible for fixing and issuing the Libor while the Libid, though also issued daily has no such correspondent. For a variety of global financial instruments such as short term futures contracts, forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps and currency options, the Libor and Libid are used as the most important reference rates.
