Introduction
The IBOR reform is the biggest change in the capital markets since the introduction of the Euro two decades ago. For the past decade, the global regulatory community has driven a reform of the interbank offered rates (IBORs) in order to renew confidence in these critical benchmarks.
In the Eurozone, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) and the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA) are considered critical benchmarks. In September 2018, the ECB’s Euro Risk-Free Rate Working Group recommended that the Euro Short Term Rate (€STR) shall replace EONIA, while also providing the basis for developing fallbacks for contracts referencing Euribor.
While €STR will not be released by the ECB until October 2, 2019, preparation for the transition from EONIA to ESTER €STR are well underway, including publication of a pre-€STR rate. Read more on the future development plans from a market infrastructure provider and leading derivatives exchange’s perspective.
"Eurex Group is committed to help the market to transition to new risk-free reference rates."
