*Interbank Offered Rates (‘IBORs’)* have been in use globally as the benchmark interest rates for lending, derivatives and financial contracts. After December 2021 and IBOR will be phased out globally, leaving financial markets without its most used benchmark rate for around $350-400 trillion transactions. Finance professionals globally are closely monitoring this event unfold as they prepare for the transition.

 *Why should you be aware about this?*
This change will impact your borrowings, derivative trades and financial contracts. Banks will renegotiate on the existing interest rates and derivative trades with you; use the new benchmark interest rate for lending decisions; Interbank traders will change their pricing models and risk parameters to price derivative contracts. Financial clauses in your vendor contracts and derivative contracts undergo a revision along with tax implications.
