On March 9, 2017, the European Money Markets Institute (“EMMI“) issued a paper that considered the legal grounds for a proposed reform to EURIBOR.

Possible reform to EURIBOR was previously outlined by the EMMI in October 2015 (available here), and the most recently issued paper delves deeper into possible evolution. In particular, the paper considers the legal ramifications of the points previously considered.

The EMMI has encouraged EURIBOR users to consider the proposed reforms in an attempt to address possible issues around any changes. The paper is available here.
