The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDABenchm) is seeking industry comment on plans to amend its standard documentation for derivatives contracts in the event that key benchmarks, “Ibors”, cease to exist.
The trade body is set to amend its 2006 definitions to include fallbacks, namely the risk-free rates (RFR), that would apply if the Interbank Offered Rate (Ibor) is permanently discontinued as a result of the ongoing industry wide reform to create more robust benchmarks.
