LIBOR transition
Setting your firm up for success
Regulators have signaled the need for firms to transition from LIBOR by the end of 2021. Given the degree of uncertainty and complexity, transition is likely to be one of the biggest transformation programs many firms will have undertaken.
Regulators globally have signalled that firms should transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to alternative overnight risk-free rates (RFRs) by the end of 2021. However, the rate is so embedded in the day-to-day activities of providers and users of financial services that completing transition will be a complex and time consuming task which could give rise to major risks for firms and their customers. It is vital that Boards take action now, but how do they navigate these issues, against a backdrop of uncertainty, and deliver one of the (if not the) biggest transformation projects they have ever faced? This report is designed to help Board members and executives understand what is needed to drive transition.
