EU Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) 2016/1011 - EURIBOR, IBOR Transition, Critical Benchmark Framework

What EU Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) 2016/1011 - EURIBOR, IBOR Transition, Critical Benchmark Framework requires

Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (BMR) governs the provision of, contribution to, and use of financial benchmarks in the EU. Critical benchmarks (EURIBOR, formerly LIBOR) require NCA authorisation of the administrator. Three-tier classification: Critical (systemic risk - administrator authorised by home NCA, mandatory contribution if NCA orders); Significant (≥EUR 500M reference value); Non-significant. EONIA ceased 3 January 2022, replaced by €STR (Euro Short-Term Rate published by ECB). USD LIBOR ceased 30 June 2023 (synthetic panels to September 2024). Article 28 mandates fallback clauses in all contracts referencing benchmarks designated as critical or likely to cease. Article 29 restricts use of non-authorised third-country benchmarks by EU supervised entities. ESMA maintains a public register of authorised and equivalent benchmarks.
