Tokyo Swap Rate
An overview of Tokyo Swap Rate
Refinitiv calculates and administers the Tokyo Swap Rate (TSR), a Japanese yen (JPY) interest rate swap (IRS) benchmark family, which is widely used in the valuation of swaptions, CMS, structured loans and notes, FRNs and private finance initiatives.
The Tokyo Swap Rate benchmarks are published on each business day in Japan at 10:30 and 15:30 Tokyo time.
Following the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) 5 March 2021 announcement all JPY LIBOR settings have ceased. To support the market transition away from LIBOR, Refinitiv introduced Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) and Tokyo Swap Rate Fallback.
The Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) supports the TONA market convention and for market participants that elect to use it, Tokyo Swap Rate Fallback is designed to support the continuation of contracts referencing Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing 6-month JPY interbank offered rates from London banks) which mature after the end of December 2021.
The Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) settings are based primarily upon dealer-to-client quotes in spot starting TONA OIS from the Tradeweb platform. The data is collected during a 20-minute window centred on 10:00 (Tokyo time) in the morning and 14:40-15:00 (Tokyo time) in the afternoon and published at 10:30 (Tokyo time) and 15:30 (Tokyo time) respectively. In the event of low liquidity Refinitiv use spot starting TONA OIS rates from (i) two inter-dealer brokers (Tradition and TP ICAP), (ii) Tradeweb (composite indicative rates) and (iii) any unused executable dealer-to-client quotes from Tradeweb collected during the same windows.
The Tokyo Swap Rate Fallback is derived from the Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) together with a constant spread adjustment in line with feedback from industry consultation, which is consistent with the methodology proposed by national working groups. The fallback settings are available in tenors from 1-year to 40-years and published at the same time as the Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) settings.
Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TONA) and Tokyo Swap Rate Fallback are production benchmarks administered by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (RBSL) in compliance with the UK Benchmark Regulation and can be used in financial contracts.
Calculation and publication of all tenors of Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TIBOR®) permanently ceased immediately following the final publication at 15:30 (Tokyo time) on Friday 31 March 2023. For further details about Tokyo Swap Rate (for swaps referencing TIBOR®), please review the press release or contact Refinitiv.
