MBA Education Webinar: Navigating the LIBOR Transition Within the CRE Industry Oct. 8
MBA Education offers a free webinar, Navigating the LIBOR Transition Within the CRE Industry, on Tuesday, Oct. 8 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET.
Join MBA Education, Dechert LLP, and industry experts to discuss critical changes coming to our industry as a result of the LIBOR transition and how to begin successful transition planning for your organization. Set to expire by the end of 2021, the LIBOR has an enormous impact on the pricing of numerous types of loans. The transition away from LIBOR will directly impact commercial real estate given the large amount of floating rate lending that references the LIBOR index in pricing loans.
As training and proactive project management are essential for a successful and smooth transition, this discussion will give participants a basic understanding of the issues, the challenges, and what to expect going forward. Industry subject matter experts from MBA’s LIBOR Outreach Committee and Dechert’s Global Finance Practice will help you examine the issues, get a better sense for the size and scope of the transition, and what resources are available to help prepare for this change.
