Let us remind you that WIBOR (Warsaw Interbank Offer Rate) is essentially the interest rate on the interbank market in Poland. When banks lend money to each other, the ratio is used to calculate the final repayment amount that consists of the loan and its interest.

LIBOR is not a static indicator. We know its rise every business day at 11.00 based on the data provided by the banks.
