Table 1

Libor and Euribor are not single rates rather they provide variants of these benchmark rates which
were published each day. The rates were published for five currencies and seven maturities for each
currency (see Table 2). In 1986, the Libor initially fixed rates for three currencies. These were the US
dollar, British pound sterling and the Deutsche Mark. Over time this grew to sixteen currencies. After
a number of these currencies in 2000 merged into the euro there remained ten currencies. Following
reforms of 2013 Libor rates were calculated for 5 currencies.
