Recital 4

(4)Regulators and market participants have been working on replacement rates for those currencies, and in particular on the development of new risk-free rates, which are now being used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts. In particular, the euro short-term rate (€STR), the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the Sterling Over Night Index Average (SONIA) and the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA) risk-free rates are produced for EUR, USD, GBP and JPY respectively. More specifically with respect to the OTC derivative market, it now means that OTC interest rate derivative contracts referencing €STR, SOFR, SONIA and TONA are being traded by counterparties and are being cleared at certain CCPs.
