With trillions of dollars’ worth of financial contracts referencing LIBOR, with maturities past 2021, the greatest challenge for organizations as they transition away from IBOR will be in identifying all references within their organization and determining the total downstream impact.
Distilling the informational critical path, without losing the bigger picture.
IBOR transition is likely to be one of the most transformative programmes many firms have undertaken. Organizations need a clear understanding of how IBORs are utilized, referenced and should have suitable planning & resourcing in place to manage the transition.
Whilst the legal and operational challenges which this change will pose for banks are not unprecedented, they are wide-ranging and of a massive scale. LIBOR was once dubbed the “world’s most important number” and it affects millions of contracts, which will need to be reviewed, repapered, redrafted or renegotiated.
The highest hurdle organizations face, as they transition away from IBOR and develop their transition strategy, is in identifying all impacted products/contracts1 within their organization, developing an inventory of those referencing IBORs (both directly and indirectly) and consolidating impacted contracts into a repository for analysis, decision-making, remediation and repapering (where necessary).
