  • ISDA Response To The IOSCO Consultation On Financial Benchmarks

    Date 12/02/2013

    Introduction

    On behalf of our members, ISDA appreciates the opportunity to respond to this consultation, withthe goal of contributing to a robust and stable financial market. In this response, we have limited ourselves to commenting on those issues that are directly relevant to ISDA and OTC Derivatives Markets. There are, of course, many important issues discussed in the consultation document that go  beyond  that  scope,  and  we  defer,  in  relation  to  those  issues,  to  other  financial  market respondents with greater expertise and/or a more relevant focus. Equally, we will not address considerations of possible alternatives or successors to relevant indices (e.g. Libor or Euribor), either generically or specifically, in the case of those that we are aware will already be discontinued or those where a decision is yet to be made for the discontinuation of any indices/rates.
