Transition to risk free rates: an official sector panel discussion

On this ICMA podcast, recorded on June 25, representatives from the European Central Bank, the European Investment Bank, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Swiss National Bank discuss the transition away from LIBOR and other IBORs and towards risk-free reference rates, with a focus on the international bond market. They address the progress of the transition to risk-free rates so far, despite the market impact of the coronavirus pandemic; the remaining challenges to complete implementation of the transition in time, including legacy issues; and the importance of international coordination, how this works and what it involves.
