In some the central bank has sole responsibility for conducting the fixings , in others it shares this responsibility with the competent public or private body responsible for the operation of the foreign exchange markets , while in still others it is the latter body , rather than the central bank , which is responsible .

Possible modifications to data formats also need to be discussed at the interbank level in each country .

In its management of the liquidity conditions in the euro area money market , the Eurosystem focuses on the interbank market for reserves .

2 ) Differential ( in percentage points ) between three month interbank interest rates and the three month EURIBOR .

In allowing the immediate integration of the whole euro area unsecured money market in the first days of existence of our single currency , it effectively ensured the singleness of monetary policy .

Since the ESCB will conduct its monetary policy in the European currency , liquidity in the European currency will be provided to , and withdrawn from , the interbank money market .

This applied in particular to the money market for unsecured deposits which , as you know , was fully integrated within days of the introduction of the euro .

You may recall that at the very start of my presentation , I mentioned that the unsecured money market in euro was fully integrated within days of the introduction of the single currency .

Evidence of integration can be found , to varying degrees , in all par ts of the financial structure The euro area 's interbank money market is fully integrated .

Although most of the conversion facilities will probably be set up independently by individual institutions , some rules will have to be defined either at the EU level or at the interbank level in each country .

Total recourse to the standing facilities in 2003 remained at the low levels of the previous year , indicating the good quality of the forecasts of the autonomous factors and the high efficiency of the interbank market .

There are two important reference rates for the unsecured money market , the EONIA ( euro overnight index average ) and the EURIBOR ( euro interbank offered rate ) , which together provide uniform price references for maturities from overnight to one year . Unsecured parts of the money market

Banks assessment of the expected changeover in the foreign exchange market , once the ESCB starts operating in the European currency , very closely mirrored their view of the expected developments in the interbank money market .
