Answer: Off-market swap
This is an **off-market swap** because the fixed rate of **4.0%** is not the market-par swap rate implied by the flat **3.0%** curve. A swap entered at a fixed rate above or below par is off-market. - A **forward swap** starts in the future. - A **basis swap** exchanges two floating rates. - An **accreting swap** has an increasing notional.
