Benchmark Rate Reform for Debt-Based Cash Instruments 2020 | Marcus Evans | 24 February 2020 | TBA, London, UK

Why you should attend:
The transition away from Libor is a matter of great uncertainty. As the clock ticks forward toward the demise of Libor in 2021 key questions remain unanswered. With over $400 trillion worth of contracts linked to LIBOR in major currencies, now is the key time to prepare your institution. The term structures of the new reference rates still requires clarity and in the debt-based cash instruments market, an overnight rate is detrimental to the methodology of the industry. In addition to this, with trillions of dollars worth of legacy inventory referencing LIBOR, banks must prepare themselves for every unknown eventuality. This marcus evans event will focus on the move to a risk free rate on term agreements for floating bonds and loans in the cash market and provide important market updates on approaches to the transition to a risk free rate.
