4 June 2021 - Regulators expect Australian institutions to cease the use of LIBOR in new contracts before the end of 2021

Regulators in Australia are reiterating the importance of ensuring a timely transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This requires ceasing the use of LIBOR in new contracts before the end of 2021. Continued reliance on LIBOR poses significant risks and disruptions to the stability and integrity of the financial system. Firms themselves may also face financial, conduct, litigation, and operational risks associated with inadequate preparation.
