| An IRS is similar in its effect to a Forward Rate Agreement (FRA).
| |
| An IRS - like an FRA - is a contract for differences based on an agreed market interest rate.
| |
|
| |
|
| But the IRS usually has multiple future interest calculation and settlement dates, and is used by a corporate to hedge or transform longer term interest rate exposures.
| | Its ISO currency code is MYR. |
|
| |
|
| For example, an interest rate swap might be used to transform a longer term floating rate borrowing into a synthetic fixed rate borrowing.
| |
|
| |
|
| (Whereas an FRA is for the shorter term and for a single settlement receipt or payment.)
