The LMA is pleased to publish our new LMA Regulatory Insights paper examining the impact of Article 21c of CRD VI on cross‑border corporate lending into the EU.

The paper examines the impact of Article 21c on everyday loan markets activity, including:

• co‑borrowing structures;
• sponsored and syndicated transactions;
• secondary market activity (including participations, assignments and novations); and
• lifecycle events and the circumstances in which grandfathering may be lost.

On 11 March 2026, the LMA submitted a joint response (along with ISDA, GFXD, UK Finance) to HM Treasury’s consultation on the future UK benchmarks regime.

We broadly support the proposed Specified Authorised Benchmarks Regime (SABR), recognising its aim of creating a more proportionate, internationally competitive framework focused on benchmarks whose failure could pose systemic risk. Our response emphasises that while the move toward a narrower, effects‑based regime is positive, aspects of the proposals risk creating ambiguity and unintended cliff‑edge consequences.
