March 16, 2022 The transition continues - Ep8
It is March 2021 and the world of “no new LIBOR” is in full swing. At the end of 2021, most LIBOR settings were published for the final time. So it is a good time to reflect on the achievements and take a stock-take on what is left to do around synthetic LIBOR, US transition, legislative solution and the use of CSRs and term rates.
In this final episode, Laura Talvitie is joined by two guests from the UK and US. Toby Williams is a Technical Specialist in Benchmarks Policy at the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Tom Wipf chairs the US Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) and is also a Vice Chairman of Institutional Securities at Morgan Stanley.
