Interest rates.

A term rate is an interest rate for a predetermined future term.

The term is usually a medium or longer-term one.


Term RFRs are required
"Currently, all RFRs are overnight rates only, although some market participants and products require or desire term rates.
According to the milestones and timelines set out by the RFR working group, a term SONIA rate will be launched in the second half of 2019.
There are similar plans in place for other currency RFRs, albeit with different time frames.
An alternative to using a term SONIA could be the increased use of the Bank of England Base Rate (or currency equivalents) in certain products."
