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:

• The challenges in risk-free rate (RFR) issuance and hedging
• Navigating multiple RFRs
• How to deal with legacy book
• The challenge of backward-looking rates.
