News on current Inflation Derivatives initiatives:
- ISDA Guidance for Delayed Publication of CPI-U – On September 25, 2023, Reuters reported concerns that publication of the September 2023 level of CPI-U could be suspended or delayed in the event of a government shutdown resulting from failure by Congress to agree funding programs for federal agencies. ISDA published guidance considers the impact any such suspension or delay of publication would have on inflation derivative transactions incorporating the 2008 ISDA Inflation Derivatives Definitions.
