EURONIA[edit]

Fails WP:ORG. I did a news search, and could not find anything. Formerly deleted as uncontested PROD, but recreated again. Arsenikk ^(talk) 14:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although not often appearing in discussions in the popular media, EURONIA is a benchmark interest rate. It is one of several interest rates listed everyday in the Financial Times outline of world interest rates (see last link below). It represents a London-based alternative to the continent's EONIA rate. The only difference between EONIA and EURONIA is that EURONIA is calculated from the unsecured overnight euro deposit trades originated by money brokers in London (Vaitilingam, 2001, Financial Times Guide to Using the Financial Pages, Prentice Hall, page 188).

If it does not merit its own entry, I think that information on the EONIA/EURONIA distinction should be included in the EONIA definition on Wikipedia or in the discussion on SONIA (also London-based). In fact, EURONIA is referenced in the discussion of SONIA on the British Bankers' Association. It is also referenced in Bank of England materials regarding a possible transition to the euro, where EURONIA would replace SONIA as the benchmark rate in the UK. It is also referenced by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in their discussion of the appropriate UK bank base rates to apply.

Comment. Agreed that it is listed in the FT, but is that all we are ever going to be able to say about it? Maybe some of our financial experts could comment, but at the moment this does not look like it will ever be more than a couple of sentences so should be merged into an appropriate article.

Keep This is the sort of material an encyclopedia should have information on, along with all the pop culture. But it might be even better if merged with EONIA DGG (talk) 01:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Combined article would be best. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (nominator's change of vote) If it is listed in the Financial Times every day, then it is most obviously notable, since it seems to me to be independent of EONIA (i.e. it is not a sub-index), per WP:ORG. If I have misunderstood, and it is part of EONIA, I would vote for a merge. Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:21, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
