> South Africa’s central bank postponed Jibar’s retirement by five months, to May 31, 2027, because legislation for contracts that cannot transition automatically to a replacement benchmark is not yet in force. The delay is intended to give firms and clearing houses more time to coordinate the transition and avoid market disruption.
