Implementation of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) Transition Plans and Extension of Reporting Requirements on LIBOR-Related Exposures
058 MEMORANDUM NO. M-2021-__ OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR FINANCIAL SUPERVISION SECTOR To : ALL UNIVERSAL AND COMMERCIAL BANKS AND THEIR SUBSIDIARY BANKS Subject : Implementation of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) Transition Plans and Extension of Reporting Requirements on LIBOR-Related Exposures Relative to the March 2021 announcement that select settings of LIBOR will continue to be published until 30 June 2023, all universal and commercial banks and their subsidiary banks are hereby required to continue to submit quarterly reports on the extent of their remaining LIBOR-related exposures until the reference date of 31 December 2023. The reporting template has been updated to accommodate the new date of LIBOR cessation. The attached revised template shall be used beginning with the 31 December 2021 reference date. The other submission guidelines issued under Memorandum No. M-2020-083 dated 17 November 2020 shall continue to hold. Banks shall likewise be guided by Memorandum No. M-2021-014 dated 4 March 2021 which provides responses to frequently asked questions on the preparation of the report. The Report on LIBOR-Related Exposures forms an integral part of a bank's implementation of its LIBOR transition plan, as prescribed under BSP Memorandum M-2020-083. The proper identification of exposures is a crucial step in ensuring that the cessation of LIBOR does not disrupt a bank's operations and the efficient provision of services to its clients and other market counterparties. In this regard, the accuracy and comprehensiveness of a bank’s reporting to the BSP shall be viewed as a reflection of the quality of its LIBOR transition arrangements and shall factor into the BSP’s assessments of its risk management system.
A bank’s effective management of the risk arising from LIBOR cessation necessarily involves strategies for actively reducing reliance on the benchmark sufficiently in advance of its discontinuation. At this stage of the transition, banks should be working toward proactively remediating LIBOR-referencing contracts and moving new business to robust alternative reference rates. Moreover, appropriate fallback provisions should already be incorporated into all new contracts. Banks are reminded of their crucial responsibility for client education on the transition. Communication and outreach initiatives shall be compliant with the BSP’s consumer protection framework. System and operational enhancements necessitated by new data and valuation requirements arising from the shift to alternative rates should likewise be implemented early to ensure that technical issues will not adversely impact day-to-day operations. For guidance and strict compliance. Digitally signed by Chuchi G. Fonacier Date: 2021.10.26 19:10:54 +08'00' CHUCHI G. FONACIER Deputy Governor 26 __ October 2021
