I am confused how the interest rate swap works in this question.
I don't understand why the answer says that Keshi will borrow at L+0.4% but then receive only LIBOR - should they not receive LIBOR +0.30%?
How is the effective borrowing rate figure worked out?
Is the total possible benefit of 0.8% simply the difference between the basis differential?
Sorry SWAPS really confuse me!

They can settle up between themselves in whatever way they want - it does not have to be that way.
What matters is the final net result.
If you watch my free lecture on swaps then I do explain what is happening and how to sort it out :-)
