FFIEC Statement on LIBOR Transition

On 7/1/2020, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) issued a statement to highlight the risks that will result from the transition away from LIBOR, which is used by the financial industry as a reference rate for many products and instruments like loans, investments, and deposits. In their release, the regulators encouraged financial institutions to continue working toward a transition to alternative reference rates so that financial, legal, operational, and consumer protection risks can be mitigated. While the transition away from the LIBOR will affect some institutions more than others, the regulators state that the impact will affect almost all institutions and, therefore, it would be beneficial for all financial institutions to consider the risks associated with the LIBOR transition.
