The ISDA-Clarus RFR Adoption Indicator increased to 54.3% in December 2022 compared to 50.8% 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 50.1% of total IRD transacted in December 2022 compared to 47.9% the prior month.
Key highlights for December 2022 include:
- RFR-linked IRD DV01 declined to $14.4 billion from $15.9 billion the prior month.
