The Government is supporting a market – led transition away from LIBOR by end-2021.

UK financial services regulators have said that they will be expecting banks to show that they have eliminated dependency on LIBOR in their lending businesses, have suitable plans to move to non-LIBOR products in new lending well before end-2021, and to explain changes to affected customers.
