Interest rates - reference rates - benchmarks.
(ARR).
Reference rates are benchmark interest rates, used as a basis for calculating other interest rates between market participants.
Examples include borrowings and derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps.
An alternative reference rate is an interest rate designed to replace a prevailing interest rate benchmark.
Benchmark rates being retired and replace over time include LIBOR.
Alternative reference rates include SOFR, SONIA, AONIA and SARON.
