SIBOR, SORA and SOR – Navigating Life After Libor

The imminent sunset of Libor has policy makers around the world developing new gauges to prevent disruptions and Singapore, which is moving to replace SOR with the Singapore overnight rate average (SORA), has been one of the faster adapters. The Southeast Asian financial center still faces challenges in the transition to a Libor alternative, given the limited historical use of the domestic interbank funding market. Join EY and Bloomberg in this webinar as they share market perspectives, tools and solutions for a smooth and active transition for market participants. Topics include:
  • Key updates on IBOR transition in Singapore and APAC
  • Navigating SOR to SORA for derivatives, bonds and loans
  • Bloomberg Terminal tools for SOR to SORA basis spread, SIBOR to SORA spread and more
