This Euro OverNight Index Average (EONIA) is sponsored by the European Banking Federation and ACI The Financial Markets Association (formerly the Association Cambiste Internationale) and calculated by the European Central Bank at 7 pm (CET) as a weighted average of all overnight unsecured lending transactions in the interbank market, initiated within the euro area by the same Panel Banks as used in EURIBOR calculations and carried out before the closing of real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems at 6.00 pm (CET).  
Rewarded and unrewarded risk can be a useful way to analyse risks.  


It is reported on an act/360 day count convention and (since 2007) is displayed to three decimal places.
It can indicate whether a particular risk is a legitimate risk for the organisation (and consistent with the organisation’s strategic plan) or not.
 
An example of a rewarded risk is a capital investment decision, such as acquiring a business or a new machine, launching a new product and so on.
 
Such an investment will be made because there is a reasonable expectation of an acceptable net positive return within the organisation's strategic plan, and hence an expectation of an increase in shareholders' wealth.


EONIA is widely used as a reference rate for derivatives transactions within the euro-zone.

Rewarded and unrewarded risk can be a useful way to analyse risks.

It can indicate whether a particular risk is a legitimate risk for the organisation (and consistent with the organisation’s strategic plan) or not.


An example of a rewarded risk is a capital investment decision, such as acquiring a business or a new machine, launching a new product and so on.

Such an investment will be made because there is a reasonable expectation of an acceptable net positive return within the organisation's strategic plan, and hence an expectation of an increase in shareholders' wealth.
