The ISDA-Clarus RFR Adoption Indicator was 51.0% in September 2022 compared to 51.1% the prior month. The indicator tracks how much global trading activity (as measured by DV01) is conducted in cleared over-the-counter and exchange-traded interest rate derivatives (IRD) that reference the identified risk-free rates (RFRs) in six major currencies. On a traded notional basis, the percentage of RFR-linked IRD increased to 44.9% of total IRD transacted in September 2022 compared to 44.0% the prior month.
Key highlights for September 2022 include:
- RFR-linked IRD DV01 increased to $19.2 billion from $16.2 billion the prior month.
- Total IRD DV01 increased to $37.7 billion from $31.8 billion the prior month.
