About LIBOR
LIBOR impacts organizations in numerous ways, from LIBOR-based loans to core operating processes. Regulators globally have signaled that firms should transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to alternative overnight risk-free rates (RFRs). Andrew Bailey, chief executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, has stipulated that this should happen by the end of 2021.
However, the rate is so embedded in the day-to-day activities of providers and users of financial services that completing transition will be a complex and time-consuming task which could give rise to major risks for firms and their customers.
Abstract
Effective Dec. 31, 2021, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will be replaced by the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a primary benchmark index. The impending transition is expected to disrupt the whole market structure and pose significant challenges and risks to financial institutions.
Firms of all sizes should now start preparing for the transition’s impact to effectively guard their interests and address potential risk issues. Practitioners must also keep themselves abreast of the latest developments concerning the shift, to effectively manage critical consequences on various fronts.
In this Live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help financial institution executives and practitioners better understand the impact of replacing LIBOR with SOFR. They will also offer best practices in preparing for and implementing the transition successfully.
Key topics include:
- LIBOR to SOFR: Why Shift?
- Recent Developments
- Potential Risks and Challenges
- Assessing the Impact on Your Organization
- Transition Implementation: Best Strategies
