As Euro bank wishes to use the bond proceeds in order to finance the Eurodollar loans, which are the floating-rate loans, investment banker must recommend that the bank issue FRNs, that are a inconsistent rate instrument.  Therefore there will a correspondence between the interest rate bank pays for the funds and interest rate it receives from its loans.  Such as, if bank regularly makes term loans at indexed to 3-month LIBOR, it would want to issue the FRNs, also, indexed to 3-month LIBOR.
