The interest rate for investments that have an interest rate. For fixed rate investments, this indicates the fixed interest rate. If the investment has a variable interest rate, the rate stated here may be the rate that is currently relevant. In this case the "Investment, Interest Rate is Current Rate for Variable Rate Investment Flag", "Investment, Interest Rate is Discount Rate at Purchase Flag", "Investment, Interest Rate Reflects Current Yield Flag" should be used. If one of these flags are not appropriate to explain the interest rate that is indicated, then a new flag should be added or an explanation should be included in "Investment, Additional Information".
