The two main indexes to borrow money are Prime in America and Libor in England. Libor is better known for London Interbank Offered Rate. It is even pronounced as LIE-bore. It is basically an everyday reference rate based on the various interest rates, from which banks offer to let somebody borrow unsecured finances to other banks. This is usually done in the London wholesale money market.
LIBOR is in print by the British Bankers Association (BBA) before long after 11:00 every day, London time, and is a clean standard of inter-bank deposit rates provided by chosen contributor banks, for maturities ranging from overnight to one year. They are mostly used as reference rate for various financial instruments such as forward rate agreements, short term interest rate futures contracts, interest rate swaps, floating rate notes, syndicated loans, adjustable rate mortgages, currencies, especially the US dollar (see also Eurodollar).
