Overview

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has led the way in highlighting the risk LIBOR poses to financial stability and calling for its reform. It has recently published a report to be delivered to the G-20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors on the remaining challenges to benchmark transition. Mr Arthur Yuen, Deputy Chief Executive of HKMA, is the lead drafter of the FSB report and will discuss with us its findings.

We will also hear from ASIFMA about the recently published LIBOR Transition Guide for Asia , which is designed to help regional financial institutions embark on their LIBOR transition exercise, as well as receive Asia-focused product updates on IBOR transition as it relates to derivatives, bonds and loans by ISDA, ICMA and APLMA respectively.
