DESTR recommended as the preferred risk-free reference rate in Danish kroner

In june 2021 the working group recommended DESTR as the preferred risk-free reference rate in Danish kroner. It is the working group's belief that DESTR will be a robust reference rate that can serve as a strong, reliable anchor in the short end of the curve, enhance a liquid swap and loan market and function as both a complement to and fallback for the CIBOR fixings. This recommendation delivers on the first part of the working groups mandate, cf. Terms of Reference.
