Cases

XYZ City is awarded a 5-year loan of USD 20 million from World Bank at the cost of (3-month LIBOR+ 2.5%) for local poverty alleviation. They plan to repay capital with interest with financial revenue. To prevent the increase in cost arising form rising of LIBOR, the government of XYZ City decides to make interest-rate interchange, with the nominal principal of USD 20 million, with ABC Bank, (3-month LIBOR+ 2.5%) interchanging into 5-year fixed interest rate of 6.35%. After interchange of interest rate, the receipts and payment of capital by both parties are as follows: The government of XYZ City shall pay interest at fixed rate of 6.35% every 3 months for ABC Bank and ABC Bank shall pay floating interest at (3-month LIBOR+ 2.5%) of that time every 3 months for government of XYZ City, which may be able to pay the floating interest for World Bank.

In such cases, government of XYZ City may miss the benefit of falling interest rate, but it evades the risk of rising interest rate, which is an ideal option for government of XYZ City that relies on stable financial revenue.
