Definitions
SIBOR is the rate at which an individual Contributor Bank could borrow funds, were it to do so by asking for and then accepting the interbank offers in reasonable market size, just prior to 11:00 a.m. Singapore time.
Fallback Rate (SOR) is the synthetic rate for deposits in Singapore Dollars (SGD), which represents the effective cost of borrowing SGD synthetically by borrowing US Dollars (USD) for the same maturity, and swapping out the USD in return for the SGD.
SIBOR is calculated in accordance with the Calculation Methodology for SIBOR. The published rate in respect of each tenor is the trimmed arithmetic mean of Contributor Banks’ contributions in respect of that tenor, rounded to the nearest five decimal places. The contributed rates will be ranked in order, the top and bottom quartiles will be trimmed, with the remaining rates averaged arithmetically. Each Contributor Bank's contribution carries an equal weight in the calculation, subject to the trimming.

Fallback Rate (SOR) is the primary fallback rate that will first apply upon the discontinuation of SOR after 30 June 2023. Similar to SOR, Fallback Rate (SOR) is an FX-implied rate based on actual qualifying transactions in the USD/SGD FX swap market reported by Reporting Brokers and a USD interest rate.
The final Fallback Rate (SOR) publication date for each tenor is the date corresponding to an Original SOR Rate Record Day of 31 December 2024 for that tenor, as projected in the table below:
