Towards better reference rate practices: a central bank perspective

Report by a Working Group established by the BIS Economic Consultative Committee (ECC) and chaired by Hiroshi Nakaso, Assistant Governor, Bank of Japan. The report reviews issues in relation to the use and production of reference interest rates from the perspective of central banks. The Working Group (WG) identifies an urgent need to strengthen the reliability and robustness of existing reference rates and a strong case for enhancing reference rate choice. Both call for prompt action by the private and the public sector.
