The consultation, which was launched in February, asked whether the 2006 ISDA Definitions should be amended to include fallbacks that would apply to all covered derivatives referencing LIBOR following a permanent cessation of the benchmark or a &lsquo;non-representative&rsquo; pre-cessation event, whichever occurs first.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the consultation indicate that a significant majority of respondents support including pre-cessation and permanent cessation fallbacks without optionality or flexibility in the amended 2006 ISDA Definitions for LIBOR and in a single protocol for including the updated definitions in legacy trades.<\/p>\n<p>Following these results, ISDA expects to publish amendments to the 2006 ISDA Definitions to incorporate the fallbacks for new trades in July. A protocol will simultaneously be launched to allow participants to incorporate the revisions into legacy trades if they choose too. Both will come into effect before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For the full report which is public to access <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isda.org\/2020\/05\/14\/isda-publishes-report-summarizing-final-results-of-consultation-on-pre-cessation-fallbacks-for-libor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click over to ISDA and download the report.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISDA has today published a report that summarizes the final responses to its consultation on the implementation of pre-cessation fallbacks for derivatives referenced to LIBOR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172090"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theotcspace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
