ISDA supports the IASB’s efforts to amend international financial reporting standards in response to interbank offered rate (IBOR) reform, and agrees with the proposed approach to update the effective interest rate when replacing an IBOR with a risk-free rate (RFR). The amendments are necessary to facilitate an orderly transition to RFRs.
