Libor
The London Interbank Offered Rate was a benchmark interest rate at which major global banks lent to one another. It was phased out in 2023 and replaced by alternative rates such as SOFR.
Example
“Before its discontinuation in 2023, LIBOR was used as the reference rate for trillions of dollars in financial contracts, from mortgages to derivatives.”
