FRANKFURT, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Benchmark bank-to-bank
interest rates for lending in euros fell across the board on
Monday, as recent changes made by the European Central Bank to
lending rules and benchmark rates continued to make an impact.
The key three-month Euribor rate EURIBOR3MD=, covering the
end-of-year period, fell for the second consecutive day to 5.318
percent from 5.381 percent, continuing its retreat from a
month-long upward march which took rates to their the highest
level since late 1994.
The one-week equivalent EURIBORSWD= fell for the third
session running to 4.369 percent from 4.629 percent while
six-month rates EURIBOR6MD=, which had been at 14-year highs
until last week, also fell, fixing at 5.367 percent from 5.431
percent.
Euribor rates are fixed daily by the Banking Federation of
the European Union (FBE) shortly after 0900 GMT and the one-week
rate compares with the European Central Bank's main refinancing
rate of 3.75 percent.
Three-month rates form a benchmark for much short-term
commercial lending in Europe, and one-week rates give an
indication of banks' very short term financing conditions.
