Nobody knows what will happen to Libor at the end of 2021, but the market has to be ready for anything – including the benchmark’s demise. 

This continues to be the message from regulators, despite the havoc caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The coming months will be crucial in determining how and whether rates markets are able to cope. 

With those efforts now entering their critical phase, Risk.net is running a series of quarterly webinars, breaking down the issues facing the market, tracking the progress made and highlighting the remaining questions. 

Key topics discussed:

• How liquidity stacks up in risk-free rate markets
• Feedback between fallback arrangements and current market pricing, and liquidity
• Risk, technology and operational challenges in transition
• Moving from test trades to live use
• Managing the central counterparty discounting switch
• Strategies for non-linear markets.
