OFFSHORE RATE Sample Clauses
The Offshore Rate clause defines the interest rate applicable to loans or financial transactions that are funded or maintained in a currency or financial center outside the lender's home country. Typically, this rate is based on prevailing offshore interbank rates, such as LIBOR or EURIBOR, and may include an additional margin agreed upon by the parties. The core function of this clause is to establish a clear and objective method for determining interest costs on offshore borrowings, thereby ensuring transparency and predictability in cross-border financial arrangements.
