In response to interbank interest rate manipulations in the past, the new requirements for major interest rate benchmarks (i.e. the Euro Overnight Index Average ‘EONIA’, and the Euro Interbank Offer Rate ‘ EURIBOR’) were introduced. Participants will be able to get updates on implementation of the new requirements and the progress made on the development of overnight risk-free rates and its potential to serve as a basis for an alternative to current benchmarks used in a variety of financial instruments and contracts in the euro area.

The webinar will start at 10:00 CET and will last approximately 1.5 hour. Participants will be encouraged to pose questions on the topic.
