| Basis point |
A basis point is 1/100th of 1 per cent or 0.01 per cent, so 100 basis points
(bps) is equal to 1 percentage point. The term is used in money and securities
markets to define differences in interest or yield. If an interest rate
were to increase from
2 per cent
to 3 per cent, it is said to have risen by 100 basis points (bps) or one percentage
point. |
| Indicative |
Data are not necessarily observed but calculated from reference points.
For a financial asset or product, an ‘indicative’ price may
not necessarily correspond to the price at which dealers in that market
would execute transactions; for an example see Notes for Table F11. |
