Today, the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate working group (CARR) finalized its guidance on the allowable use cases for Term CORRA.
Term CORRA, first announced by CARR in January, will be officially launched by CanDeal Benchmark Administration Services Inc. (CBAS) and TMX Datalinx on September 5, 2023. The use of Term CORRA will be restricted to use cases developed by CARR, specifically loans and any associated derivative hedges. Going forward the approved use cases will be governed by the Term CORRA administrator, CBAS, and will be available on its website.
While the benchmark will be published on the CBAS website on a T+1 basis for free, access to real-time data or the creation of financial contracts or instruments referencing Term CORRA will require licensing from TMX Datalinx.
