2017年，鉴于伦敦银行同业拆借利率（LIBOR）合格基础定期借款交易的减少，且这些市场的活跃度在短期内大幅增加的可能性很小，英国金融行为监管局（FCA）宣布其在2021年12月31日之后将不再强制要求成员银行提交LIBOR数据。
从LIBOR向替代基准参考利率的过渡正在成为金融服务业近期最为根本性的变化之一。LIBOR现用在超过300万亿美元的抵押贷款、商业贷款、债券和衍生产品上，而参考LIBOR的未偿金融产品名义总价值中有近90%属于利率衍生品。
这一问题是全球性的，且十分复杂——涉及众多监管机构和行业组织以及数十个国家和数十种货币——而且时间紧迫。受影响的银行、保险公司和其他金融市场参与者需要快速、有效地采取行动，以避免不利后果。由于新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情导致资源的严重分散和转移，上述情况变得愈加复杂。
因为监管者对于2021年12月底的最后期限立场坚定，而且几乎每天都有新的指引出台，相关机构应预期在2021年底之前完成从LIBOR的过渡，并拥有足够的资源来做到这点。
凭借本所的全球业务覆盖、对于受影响市场和产品的深厚知识、对众多行业和贸易组织的参与以及使用多种技术解决方案（包括人工智能和其他技术辅助审阅工具）的丰富经验，美博具有独特的优势来协助金融机构和其他受影响的市场参与者解决上述复杂问题。本所的IBOR过渡特别工作组由全球各地的近100名合伙人组成，也许正是我们在该领域深厚实力的最好反映。
我们还创建了多项资源，就LIBOR和其他IBOR的背景、最新市场动态及本所的思想领导力资源提供全面信息，其中包括：
- 关注IBOR过渡博客：本所遍布全球各地、跨业务领域的IBOR专家所提供的简明扼要的最新信息，涉及持续监管和立法公告、贸易组织工具、市场过渡状况等。
- IBOR过渡文摘：有关全球监管和市场新闻以及对于金融市场参与者所面临复杂问题的洞见的文章汇编，旨在协助他们策划从LIBOR及其变种到替代基准利率的过渡工作。
- IBOR过渡网络研讨会系列：以易于理解的形式，就一系列主题提供详细的讨论和见解，涵盖的主题多种多样，从制定和执行有效的IBOR过渡策略，到评估IBOR议题对特定金融产品的影响等等。
另外，本所正与领先的法律及合规技术解决方案提供商Morae Global Corporation合作，以协助客户进行这一过渡。通过结合双方的法律和技术知识及专长，我们为正在准备IBOR过渡的各种机构提供“一站式服务”。
我们还合作开发了IBOR过渡准备情况调查，旨在启发思考，协助市场参与者准备和执行其IBOR过渡计划和项目，或回顾迄今为止的进展情况。市场参与者完成调查后不久将收到一份报告，上面有详细的检查清单以及由美博IBOR过渡特别工作组成员和Morae的专家提供的意见、分析和下一步建议。此外，本所将在其中一次的IBOR过渡定期网络研讨会向完成调查人士介绍综合调查结果。
