What banks should be doing to manage the risks. Worldwide, it is estimated that over $370 trillion in financial contracts are pegged to the Libor index. It is quite likely that banks in Connecticut have contracts that are priced on the basis of Libor. This can include adjustable rate mortgages (Fannie/Freddie products), commercial loans, derivative products (interest rate hedging contracts), and even bond obligations held in investment portfolios. Libor is scheduled to go away after the end of 2021, but your contracts may last beyond that. This Forum talk will discuss what you can do to manage the risks associated with the end of Libor.
Dinner Choices: Prime Rib Cost: Registrations should be received no later than Friday, September 20, 2019. There will be no refunds after this date. Price is $75 per person.
