  Roundtable Discussion

In July 2017, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that it will cease asking banks to submit LIBOR quotes from 2021. LIBOR currently covers approximately USD 250TN in financial contracts globally. The current view of the PRA and FCA, based on feedback from the “Dear CEO Letter”, is that banks and asset managers are at various stages of preparation for this massive change. While some Tier 1 banks are well-advanced, some buy-side firms have not yet started.

Against this background, we cordially invite you to participate in our discussion on the implementation challenges facing financial institutions, their preparedness and view of the success and timelines for the LIBOR transition.

The breakfast will be hosted under Chatham House Rule to ensure opinions expressed by the participants will not be attributed to a specific person or their company affiliation.
