Interbank

The interbank market refers to banks and other financial-trading companies doing business, mostly lending, with each other. Banks may borrow money from other banks to ensure that they have enough liquidity for their immediate needs, or lend money when they have excess cash on hand.
The interbank lending market, like other credit markets, became seriously constrained by the credit crisis that began in 2008.
== Overnight, Every Night ==
Most interbank transactions are overnight or short-term loans that banks etc. grant to each other mostly to hedge their foreign-currency (forex) and interest rate exposure, although forex speculators also use the market. Interbank transactions between more than 8,300 institutions in over 200 countries take place over the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) network. The size of the interbank currency market is estimated at over one trillion dollars daily.
== Dollar Store ==
The interest rate charged by British banks on the interbank market, known as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), rose rapidly as the international credit crisis began spreading in early 2008. The spread between LIBOR and both the overnight interest swap (OIS) rate and 3-month U.S. Treasury bills widened as banks and others sought the safe haven of greenbacks. By late October 2008, however, LIBOR had fallen 3.54% for three-month dollar-denominated interbank loans and 4.92% for three-month euro loans.

Interdealer broker

An interdealer broker (IDB) is a specialized financial intermediary that facilitates transactions between broker-dealers, dealer banks, and other large financial institutions in markets where there is no centralized exchange or market maker system. IDBs primarily operate in over-the-counter (OTC) markets, dealing with securities such as bonds, currencies, and derivative products related to shares, property, and credit markets.
== Role and Functions ==
Interdealer brokers play several crucial roles in financial markets:
* Facilitating trades: IDBs match buyers and sellers anonymously in private, closed markets.
* Enhancing liquidity: By connecting various market participants, IDBs improve market liquidity, especially for less liquid securities.
* Price discovery: IDBs provide pricing information, particularly in markets with limited transparency.
* Anonymity: They allow dealers to trade without revealing their identities, preventing market impact.
* Market stabilization: During times of market stress, IDBs can help smooth markets by facilitating creative transactions.
== Major Interdealer Brokers ==
*TP ICAP
*Tradition
*BGC Partners, Inc.
In July 2009, these five firms founded the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association Americas Inc. (WMBA Americas), an industry association designed to "association to promote the quality and standards of the industry and a better understanding of the critical role played by wholesale brokers in the efficient functioning of financial markets." The WMBAA advocates on behalf of the founding members as regulations related to the Dodd-Frank Act are implemented, specifically rules regarding swap execution facilities and OTC derivatives. 
== Technology and Evolution ==
The interdealer brokerage industry has evolved significantly with the advent of electronic trading platforms. While traditionally reliant on voice broking, many IDBs now operate electronic systems that allow for direct trading between dealers while maintaining anonymity. This shift has improved efficiency and reduced costs in many markets.

Interest

Interest on assets and other fixed income investments refers to the six-monthly or 12-monthly payments those investments earn based on their interest rate, also called a coupon in the credit market. Interest payments on a loan depend on the original principal, interest rate and loan term maturity and number of annual payments. 
== Any interest? ==
Interest payments for common consumer credit like auto loans, home mortgages and other retail financing can be reckoned from online interest calculators, adjusted for principal, APR and maturity. Retailers in some parts of the U.S. have begun offering interest-free-year consumer loans to drive traffic despite the recent credit crisis as recession bites more deeply in the latter part of 2008. Troubled carmakers like General Motors are also offering no-interest and no-payment first years for auto loans.

Interest rate

__NOTOC__
The interest rate is the amount charged by a lender to a borrower for the use of assets, expressed as a percentage of the principal. They are typically noted on an annual basis, known as the annual percentage rate (APR). 
In the case of a large asset, such as a vehicle or building, the interest rate is sometimes known as the "lease rate". 
Some of the most common interest-rate benchmarks are:
*LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate)
*U.S. Treasury T-bills, T-Notes and bonds
Many derivatives products are used to trade or hedge exposure to official interest rates across global exchange and OTC markets.
(See interest rate futures) 
== Bank it ==
Each country's central bank responds to different pressures when setting its interest rate, which markets must factor in when projecting future directions. Most influential is the Fed's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which sets interest rates by buying or selling government securities on the open market. The European Central Bank (ECB), the world's second-most powerful central bank, was established in 1999 at the inception of the euro. Other central banks considered influential include those of England, Japan, Swtizerland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Interest rate futures

Interest-rate futures are futures contracts on interest-bearing securities (debt), for example U.S. Treasury bills or Treasury bonds, Treasury notes, and certificates of deposit.

The five most actively traded interest rate futures are:
1. Eurodollar Futures (offered at the CME)
2. 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note Futures (at the CME)

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body set up by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 1988 to study climate change in the wake of a blazing heat wave and drought and warnings from scientists led by James E. Hansen. It was the first step on the path toward agreement on the first climate treaty in 1992. 
Its constituency is made up of:
*Governments: all member countries of WMO and UNEP
*Scientists: hundreds of scientists all over the world
*The people: the IPCC work aims at the promotion of the United Nations human development goals
The IPCC was established to provide an objective source of information about climate change for decision-makers and others. It does not conduct its own research or monitor climate-related data; rather it assesses the latest scientific, technical and socio-economic literature relevant to understanding the risk of human-induced climate change. Its reports should be neutral and objective and of high scientific and technical standards and reflect a wide range of views and geographical coverage.

International Commercial Exchange

The International Commercial Exchange became a Designated Contract Market (DCM) in April of 1971. It was founded in 1970 by members of the New York Produce Exchange, and the two exchanges eventually merged. The International Commercial Exchange was the first exchange to trade currency futures. They launched on Apr. 23, 1970 thanks to the work of then exchange non-executive chairman Murray Borowitz, two years before the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) listed its currency products.
With the Bretton Woods agreement still in effect, the exchange's attempt at listing currency futures may have been premature, however. The International Commercial Exchange ceased operations in 1973 and former International Commercial Exchange traders were granted certain trading privileges on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The exchange designation was never formally vacated but the exchange was not active on Apr. 21, 1975, the effective date of the CFTC Act of 1974 when the CFTC commenced operations.

International Commodities and Derivatives Association

The International Commodities and Derivatives Association (formerly SFOA) was a non-profit association founded in 1979 and wound down in 2019. It served member banks, exchanges and FCMs as well as individuals in the global commodities and derivatives industry. It focused on new products, new platforms, emerging markets and innovation affecting markets worldwide. 
On October 23, 2019, the board of the organization voted to wind down the association as of December 31, 2019 citing existing members failing to pay their dues, falling returns from seminars and conferences and a lack of new members.

== History ==
ICDA was originally formed as the Swiss Commodities Industry Association (SCIA) at an inaugural assembly held at the Carlton Elite Hotel in Zurich on January 18, 1980. The creation of the association was the result of extensive preparatory work undertaken by an ad-hoc committee of the CFTC International Advisory Committee formed on the suggestion of the American Ambassador in Bern at the time.
It was later renamed the Swiss Futures & Options Association, and then the International Commodities & Derivatives Association.

operating activities and strategic planning. Integrated reporting’s goal is to communicates how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects, in the context of its external environment, create preserve or erode value in the short, medium and long term. The process of preparing an integrated report generates internal benefits, such as improved risk management and decision making. Users of integrated reports – from providers of financial capital to supply chain partners to local communities – also stand to benefit through an improved understanding of how organizations create, preserve or erode value.
