ISDA launches new consultation on pre-cessation fallbacks

25 February 2020

ISDA launched a new consultation on how to implement pre-cessation fallbacks for derivatives.

The new consultation asks whether the 2006 ISDA Definitions should be amended to include fallbacks that would apply to all covered derivatives following the permanent cessation of an interbank offered rate (IBOR) or a ‘non-representative’ pre-cessation event, whichever occurs first. Under this scenario, a single protocol would also be launched to allow participants to include both pre-cessation and permanent cessation fallbacks within their legacy derivatives trades.

The new consultation is open until March 25, 2020.
