Forward Rate
In fixed income, a forward rate is the interest rate implied today for a loan or deposit that starts at a specified future date and lasts for a defined period, derived from the current yield curve.
Example: If the 1-year zero rate is 2.0% and the 2-year zero rate is 2.5%, the implied forward rate for the second year is about 3.0% per year, illustrating how the forward rate relates to the two-year and one-year yields.
