The end of this year marks a big change for financial institutions worldwide with the elimination of LIBOR as a base rate. LIBOR, or London Interbank Offered Rate, has been around for almost fifty years as a reference rate, or index, that many banks around the world have relied on for a wide range of financial products. The upcoming elimination of LIBOR will affect banks and borrowers significantly.
