Since the launch of CNH HIBOR and taking over the administration of HKD HIBOR in 2013, the TMA has been discharging its duty to uphold the robustness and credibility of the administrated benchmarks.  This includes reviewing whether and how to refine benchmarks administered having regard to international recommendations and local market conditions.

It is the fourth year that the TMA hosts the seminar with a view to updating and briefing members the latest development of major financial benchmarks as follows:

1.    Update of TMA’s administered benchmarks including HIBORs, Spot Rates and ONIA
2.    Update of IBOR reforms and potential LIBOR fade out
3.    Update of recent developments on alternative nearly risk free rates.
