Choice of right interest rate
QUESTION: What interest rate is best (true
and representative)?
• Quoted at certain time?
• Based on actual deals?
• Synthetic?
And FOR WHAT PURPOSES?

MosIBOR: what was wrong
• 16 banks of different (unequal) credit quality:
one bank quote 4.0% other 8%
• As result MosIBOR represented simple
average – dilemma of “average temperature
in hospital”
• Non representative % rate for commercial
purposes (benchmark)
• MIBOR and MIACR (of CBR)
have same problems

Spread OIS–LIBOR(MosPrime)
• Difference or "spread" between LIBOR/MosPrime and
OIS rates - important measure of risk and liquidity in the
money market, strong indicator for the relative stress in
the interbank market.
• A higher spread (high Libor) - indication of a decreased
willingness to lend by major banks, a lower spread
indicates higher liquidity in the market.
• Spread can be viewed as indication of
banks' perception of creditworthiness
of other financial institutions and the
general availability of funds for lending.
