How does it work?
Rates are calculated independently by AFMA, with 'out of market' rates eliminated before averaging. They are then delivered to the market equally and simultaneously via the following major information vendors: Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg and SunGard. Select rates are also available via automated email or the AFMA website.
More information on reference rate definitions and calculation methodology is available on the AFMAdata website.
