On May 20, ISDA responded to the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) Consultation on the Proposed Amendments Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – Exposure Draft: ED/2020/1. 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.
