==Definition==
In Hong Kong, HIBOR is officially called the "Hong Kong Dollar Interest Settlement Rates". It is defined in the Guide to Hong Kong Monetary, Banking and Financial Terms as "The rate of interest offered on Hong Kong dollar loans by banks in the interbank market for a specified period ranging from overnight to one year."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/data-publications-and-research/guide-to-monetary-banking-and-financial-terms/hibor/|title=Hong Kong Monetary Authority - Guide to Hong Kong Monetary, Banking and Financial Terms}}</ref>

HIBOR is fixed by the Hong Kong Association of Banks (HKAB)  by reference to market rates for HKD deposits in the Hong Kong interbank market. These fixings are usually released on the website of the HKAB each business day (excluding Saturdays) at 11:15 a.m., on the basis of quotations provided by 12 to 20 banks designated by the HKAB. HIBOR calculated by averaging the middle quotes after excluding the highest three quotes and lowest three quotes received from the reference banks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/web_table.html?id=123|title = Web Table}}</ref>
