The transition from IBORs to risk-free rates (RFRs) remains a challenge but it also presents multiple opportunities. In this first in a series of specialist sessions on IBOR to RFR transitions across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Dentons is proud to have collaborated with a distinguished panel of experts, who shared their views on the current state of change and timelines. During the online seminar we made a deep dive into how to translate principles and practices conceptualized in Western Europe in order to make them workable and deployable in the CEE and the Western Balkans from a legal, compliance and customer/client engagement perspective.

If you have missed the online seminar you can find the recording of our event in the lower section “Online seminar recording”.
