I am currently trying to do a study in the interbank lending market, i plan to fit a DCC model to model them, these series below is taken from datastream and what i wanted to do is to get these series from each nation (chn, fra, ger, gre, hk, id, ita, jp, my, sing, skor, sp , th, uk, us)

  • overnight or o/n and tomorrow/next or t/n
  • 1 week
  • 1 month
  • 6 month
  • 1 year

what confused me was the naming of these series

  • e.g. does bangkok interbank rate 1 Yr represent all of Thailand instead of the non existant thailand interbank rate 1 Yr
  • e.g. does t/n equal with o/n
  • what is EU-FRANC and EU-MARK
  • middle rate vs offered rate
  • and finally could someone point me to what literature i should read ?
    note: i had read Mishkin's Financial Market and Institutions, it doesnt help

these are the series that i had in my hand now

e.g. does bangkok interbank rate 1 Yr represent all of Thailand instead of the non existant thailand interbank rate 1 Yr

Bangkok Interbank Offered Rate, BIBOR, Bank of Thailand Offered Rate are all synonyms, so yes, you can think of BIBOR1Y as Thailand Interbank 1Y.

e.g. does t/n equal with o/n

No. T/N (tom/next) is a deal that starts tomorrow and matures the next business day thereafter (or sometimes 2 days thereafter). O/N (overnight) is a deal that starts today and matures tomorrow (sometimes the day after tomorrow). S/N (spot next) is a deal that starts when the spot would be delivered and matures the day after that (sometimes 2 days after that).

what is EU-FRANC and EU-MARK

Not sure exactly. I think it's EUR today but before 1999 it is Deutsche Mark (DEM). Same for EU-FRANC, it's EUR today but before 1999 it's the French Franc (FRF).

middle rate vs offered rate

The offered rate is the rate at which someone lends you money. The bid rate is the rate for which someone else borrows money of you. And the middle rate is just the average of the two.

Edit:
Difference between SHIBOR and CHIBOR:
CHIBOR is the older curve (instantiated in 1996), SHIBOR is 10 years younger. While you can find lots of transparency in SHIBOR (e.g. here) getting the same kind of information on CHIBOR is quite a struggle, this article even claims CHIBOR has no global acceptance.

Seeing that both IBORs are highly correlated though, and seeing that CHIBOR has a longer history, I'd go with CHIBOR to represent China (at least for a historical analysis).

For a continuous analysis, I'd keep my eye on both, should they ever diverge inexplicably it's probably because CHIBOR rate determination changed; or if it's SHIBOR's fault there will hopefully be some documentation on their official website or the websites of the panel banks.
