This week ISDA wrote a letter to the co-chairs of the FSB Official Sector Steering Group (OSSG) to update them on ISDA’s work to implement fallbacks for derivative contracts referencing key interest rate benchmarks. ISDA undertook this work in 2016 at the request of the FSB OSSG and expects the fallbacks to take effect in early 2020.
