Nov-18 LIBOR Replacement: Watchlist
As 2018 draws to a close, we see that Alternative Reference Rates are continuing to gain traction while IBOR fallbacks begin to develop:
- ISDA announced its proposed methodology for fallbacks for derivatives contracts that reference certain interbank offer rates (IBORs).
- SOFR-based debt issuance is now over $26 billion and the most recent issuance extends into 2021. See CME SOFR page for details or check out our market update summary here.
- 2W, 2M and 9M tenors of EURIBOR have ceased to be published by the EMMI due to low levels of trading activity for these terms.
