In an interest rate swap no actual principal is exchanged either initially or at maturity, but interest payment streams of differing character are exchanged according to predetermined rules and based on an underlying notional principal amount. The three main types are: coupon swaps (or fixed rate to floating rate swaps), basis swaps (from floating rate against one reference rate to floating rate with another reference rate) and cross-currency interest rate swaps (swaps of fixed rate flows in one currency to floating rate flows in another). 3, record 1, English, - basis%20swap
