More corporate loans linked to a new financing rate have been completed in Hong Kong, as the city joins other financial hubs around the world in preparing to move away from Libor.
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. provided two loans referencing the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in Hong Kong, the bank said in an emailed statement Monday. The development comes after Hong Kong got its first corporate loan linked to SOFR in December.
