TALIBOR

TALIBOR stands for the Tallinn Interbank Offered Rate and is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the Estonia wholesale money market (or interbank market). TALIBOR is published daily by the Bank of Estonia together with TALIBID (Tallinn Interbank Bid Rate).

TALIBOR is calculated based on the quotes for different maturities provided by reference banks at about 11.00 a.m. each business day by disregarding highest and lowest quotation and calculating arithmetic mean of the quotations.
