It is critical to note that "eurodollar" does not refer to the European Union's currency (the euro). The "euro-" prefix historically indicated deposits held in Europe, but the market now includes dollar deposits held in financial centers worldwide, such as Singapore or the Bahamas. The defining feature is that it is a U.S. dollar liability of a bank operating outside the United States.
