LIBOR Transition for Financial Institutions
Understanding and Planning for Key, Practical Issues for Benchmark Reform
Dates: 15th June | 18th August | 17th November 2021
In July 2017, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that LIBOR was coming to an end. Banks will be required to transition away from LIBOR to Alternative Reference Rates (ARRs) based on overnight wholesale deposit rates from the end of 2021. Without any doubt, this transition is one of the largest upheavals of the financial markets in living memory. It creates enormous change requirements for banks across multiple asset classes, including loans, bonds, Sukuk, and derivatives. So how will banks manage this change and what challenges will banks need to overcome?
This course has been designed for banking practitioners who need to understand the key, pressing issues for transition to the new Risk-Free Rates (RFRs). The course provides instruction on how to establish a transition plan to manage the change, as well as managing legacy contracts, applying RFRs to new contracts, legal documentation, customer communications, and pricing. The course is highly interactive and provides delegates ample opportunity to raise questions and discuss solutions.
