Japan's Financial Services Agency: Letters To The CEOs Of Major Financial Institutions Regarding LIBOR Transition - Preparation for Permanent Cessation Of LIBOF

Date 01/06/2020

Whereas reforming interest rate benchmarks have been developed in Japan and abroad, the possibility that the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will be permanently discontinued after the end of 2021 has been increasing. While LIBOR is mainly referenced in derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps, it is also quoted in a significant number of cash products including corporate loans and bonds. Additionally, it is used in wide range of users, including not only financial institutions but also non-financial corporate and institutional investors. In this regard, there is the possibility of disruption to users if LIBOR were ceased without sufficient preparation.
Through close cooperation with the Bank of Japan and other relevant institutions, the Financial Services Agency of Japan (JFSA) will publish or provide links to related materials to help market participants, including financial institutions and non-financial corporate and institutional investors　better understand the necessity of taking actions in preparation for the cessation of LIBOR, and also support market-led initiatives for a smooth transition away from LIBOR.
