Euro unsecured overnight rate
The ECB has decided to develop a daily euro unsecured overnight interest rate based on data already available to the Eurosystem. The rate, which will be finalised before 2020, will complement existing benchmark rates produced by the private sector and will serve as a backstop reference rate. It will be based entirely on transactions in euro that are reported by banks in accordance with the ECB’s money market statistical reporting (MMSR).
