Base interest rate definitionQuestion What is the definition of "base interest rate"?
Answer The base interest rate is the minimum interest rate that investors are willing to accept for investing in a non-Treasury security instrument. The base interest rate carries a premium over Treasury securities which are considered to be the lowest-risk investments available.
The base interest rate will float with the Treasury securities of comparable maturity plus premium.
