SC-STS welcomes LCH’s clearing extension for OTC SORA derivatives

The central clearing was extended from 21 years to 31 years.

The Steering Committee for SOR & SIBOR Transition to SORA (SC-STS) welcomed LCH’s extension of central clearing for over-the-counter (“OTC”) SORA derivatives from 21 years to 31 years.

In a statement, the committee said the clearing extension will encourage further the “development of the SORA derivatives market and deepen liquidity in longer tenors of SORA Overnight Index Swaps (“OIS”).”

“The extension stands as testimony to the industry’s efforts to deepen the SORA market, and attests to market participants’ interest in SORA derivatives beyond the SOR to SORA transition,” Daniel Koh, Global Head of Treasury Markets for Standard Chartered Bank, said.

According to SC-STS, the SORA market is seeing a monthly trading activity comparable to the SOR market before the announcement of the transition.

In January 2022, the outstanding stock of SORA derivatives also surpassed the outstanding stock of SOR derivatives for the first time.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
