Corporate treasurers"may be in their pajamas but are working flat-out", said Caroline Stockmann, chief executive of the Association of Corporate Treasurers, a global trade body."It's all about liquidity, all about survival and not about the reference rate in over a year's time from now." The two agencies and the Working Group on Sterling Risk-Free Reference Rates"will continue to monitor and assess the impact on transition deadlines, and will update the market as soon as possible", they said at the time.
