Fixed Rates in USD
There are three Money Markets in the world having interbank offered rate fixings in USD, including:
- Libor fixed in London
- Sibor,or SIBOR (Singapore Interbank Offered Rate) fixed in Singapore
- Hibor, or HIBOR (Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate) fixed in Hong Kong
The USD Libor in London is the most recognized and predominant one. The USD Sibor was established in January 1988, and the USD Hibor was launched in December 2006. Although these fixings in USD use similar methodology by fixing at 11:00 am at their local times, the results of the three fixings are different.

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or rates:
“Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
