The complexity of the transition impacts the firm in numerous ways. On November 30, 2020, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), the administrator of LIBOR, announced it will consult on its intention to cease the publication of one week and two month USD LIBOR settings at the end of December 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings (overnight, one month, three month, six month, 12 month) at the end of June 2023. The consultation is expected close at the end of January 2021. Based on this announcement and related announcements from the FCA, US banking regulators issued supervisory guidance encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. Bank of America is actively working with global regulators, industry working groups and trade associations to develop strategies for an effective transition from an Inter-Bank Offered Rates (IBOR), like LIBOR, to a new benchmark. This includes the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which is an alternative to USD LIBOR, as well as the Sterling Overnight Index Average(SONIA), which is an alternative to GBP LIBOR. Bank of America has also established an enterprise-wide initiative to identify, assess and mitigate risks associated with the potential discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, and to help facilitate the transition to ARRs, like SOFR and SONIA.
