Hello All, Does anyone know how to download historical LIBOR rates of different currencies into R? Or if anyone knows of a website that holds all this data...I only need up to january of 2000. Also, how can we make the row names the index of a plot (the names of the x values)? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You might try asking on the R-SIG-Finance group, if nobody here can answer your question (https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-finance).

Hi AAditya,
There's a great tool for searching the web, called "Google." I
used it
to find the following web site when I entered "historical libor rates"
for the search:
http://www.wsjprimerate.us/libor/libor_rates_history.htm. The site came
up as the first hit. I suggest you use the scrapeR package to read data
from the site. Also, to learn more about the terrific Google search
tool, look at http://www.google.com/.
Good luck.
