  • PRESS RELEASE

The European Commission, ECB Banking Supervision, EBA and ESMA encourage market participants to cease all LIBOR settings

24 June 2021

  • Market participants strongly encouraged to cease using LIBOR in new contracts and substantially reduce their exposures to LIBOR-referenced rates

The European Commission, the European Central Bank in its banking supervisory capacity (ECB Banking Supervision), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) today issued a joint statement in which they strongly encourage market participants to use the time remaining until the cessation or loss of representativeness of USD LIBOR, GBP LIBOR, JPY LIBOR, CHF LIBOR and EUR LIBOR to substantially reduce their exposures to these rates. The statement also encourages market participants to cease using the 35 LIBOR settings, including USD LIBOR, as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and by 31 December 2021 at the latest. Participants are also called on to limit the use of any LIBOR setting published under a changed methodology and to include robust fallback clauses nominating alternative rates in all contracts referencing LIBOR. The European Commission, ECB Banking Supervision, the EBA and ESMA will monitor the situation and LIBOR exposures closely.
