BAN2214. Benchmark Rates: Operational Considerations

With the Libor cessation date approaching, institutions continue to confront a range of issues related to both legacy and new instruments on the balance sheet.  In this session, we will review the range of issues associated with cessation, and how many in the industry are approaching these issues. The session will explore these items from both an operational and accounting perspective, to give full context for arriving at strategic conclusions.  

Learning Objectives:

• Analyze the timeline of Libor cessation across each index
• Determine the key considerations regarding fallback language across different contract types (loans, bonds, derivatives, etc.)
• Identify a strategy for how to address all Libor exposure types including legacy "tough contracts" without key fallback language
