Spotlight on upcoming changes to the Federal Reserve 2420 Report


This regulatory reporting brief covers the Report of Selected Money Market Rates, its impact on reference rates and upcoming report changes.

The Report of Selected Money Market Rates, the Federal Reserve 2420 Report (FR 2420), is a focus area for regulators, as it is a key indicator of money market conditions. Money market conditions facilitate the assessment of market functioning and borrowing costs for money market instruments, and regulators currently have a significant focus on reviewing internal controls, data quality and governance.

Due to the nature of the data requirements, complexity of the reporting process, frequency of reporting and aggregation of values, the FR 2420 report poses two key challenges: report timing and report interpretation.
