Eurodollar Obligations

Bonds or, more commonly, certificates of deposit issued in U.S. dollars but outside the jurisdiction of the Federal Reserve. Most of the time, a eurodollar obligation is held by a non-American bank or a foreign branch of an American bank. However, a dollar-denominated obligation is considered a eurodollar obligation if it is held anywhere outside the United States. See also: eurodollar.
