Former Canadian interest rate benchmark
RBSL was the provider of choice and administrator for the former official benchmark representing interest rates charged by Canadian banks for short-term loans.
RBSL was appointed by a joint committee of the Canadian Bankers Association and the Investment Industry Association of Canada to calculate, distribute and administer the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR), a Canadian bankers’ acceptance rate that was essential to the Canadian banking and financial system prior to CDOR’s cessation.
CDOR was administered by Refinitiv Benchmarks Services (UK) Limited (‘RBSL’) up to its cessation on Friday 28th June 2024.
RBSL complied with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ benchmark rule in the administration of CDOR prior to its cessation.
