The London Inter-bank Offered Rate is an interest-rate average calculated from estimates submitted by the leading banks in London. Each bank estimates what it would be charged were it to borrow from other banks. The resulting rate is usually abbreviated to Libor or LIBOR, or more officially to ICE LIBOR. It was formerly known as BBA Libor (for British Bankers' Association Libor or the trademark bba libor) before the responsibility for the administration was transferred to Intercontinental Exchange. It is the primary benchmark, along with the Euribor, for short-term interest rates around the world. However, Libor will not be published any more after end-2021, and market participants are strongly encouraged to transition to other risk-free rates.

Parties to the contract choose a reference rate that neither party has power to manipulate.

The panel of reporting banks is the same as for Euribor, and a list is provided by the overseers of the publication of the index.
