In this webinar, industry experts discuss how, in the lead-up to 2021, firms are preparing for the operational implications of the Libor transition? They explore how their firms are adapting to alternative reference rates and mitigating the operational risks associated with the cessation of the world’s most important number.
Key topics discussed:
- The impacts of Covid-19 on the global transition, with a focus on the US and ‘main-street America’
- Views on market liquidity, and the benefits of standardised conventions to spur liquidity and interim milestones
- Proactively negotiating bilateral contracts, the upcoming International Swaps and Derivatives Association protocol, and determining a work plan for ‘tough legacy’ contracts
- Preparing and ensuring operational readiness for the operationalisation of Libor fallbacks, discounting switches and lending conventions changes.
