const data = await response.json();
setCiborRate(data.rates.CIBOR_3M);
};

useEffect(() => {
fetchCiborRate();
const interval = setInterval(fetchCiborRate, 60000); // Refresh every minute
return () => clearInterval(interval);
}, []);

return (


CIBOR 3-Month Rate


Current Rate: {ciborRate ? `${ciborRate}%` : 'Loading...'}
