mean of remaining 8 are published on router

Change from LIBOR to ARR(Alternate Reference Rates


)
SOFR based on actual transactions and secured and only available for overnight
period

One day give securities and take money next day exchange back

Indivudual reference rates for reach currency

SOFR doesn't have tenors and if banks borrow for tenors and see the SOFR rates for
the past three months and compound it and pay that much interest

Another challenge-
on 1 jan 2022 contracts say that libor will be used so banks and companies that
have borrowed need to communicate with banks and work back to dertermine the
fallback if libor doesnt gets published and determine what the interest should be

Indian banks still catching up with the changes from LIBOR to other bank interest
rates
