Executive Summary

As Q2 2022 begins, most banks have moved away from originating new Libor-based loans.

Data observations from Greenwich Commercial Loan Analytics (CLA) clients show that:

  • SOFR and BSBY base rates accounted for 85% of the traditional Libor-based bilateral market in Q1 2022
  • 36% of Q1 renewals that transitioned from Libor to SOFR displayed no change in spread
  • In cases where a spread increase was applied on a Libor-to-SOFR renewal, the average increase was 17 bps
