# JIBAR extension postpones CME and LCH’s November swap conversions

> South Africa’s Reserve Bank extended the final publication date for all JIBAR tenors from December 31, 2026, to May 31, 2027. CME and LCH consequently postponed planned November conversions of JIBAR-linked rand swaps, with LCH also set to revise eligible trade criteria and cash compensation.

## Why it matters

The extension delays changes to financial contracts and gives firms more time to handle legacy swaps, but the report identifies no direct effect on agricultural supply, demand or commodity prices.
