Washington, D.C. — The Bank Policy Institute issued the following statement today in response to the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services vote in favor of passing legislation to address the impending LIBOR transition:
BPI commends the House Financial Services Committee for passing legislation that will provide certainty for the market and customers on tough legacy contracts that utilize LIBOR. Along with the continuing development and market uptake of alternative reference rates, today’s legislation will greatly help banks continue to serve their customers in the ongoing transition from LIBOR.
