Consultation on ZARONIA-based non-linear derivative instruments launched

The Market Practitioners Group (MPG) Derivatives Workstream has released a white paper suggesting market conventions for non-linear derivative products. These products will utilize the newly introduced South African Rand Overnight Index Average (ZARONIA) as an alternative reference rate to the Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate (Jibar).

The consultation aims to establish standardized practices in the derivatives market, providing clarity and consistency for financial instruments that rely on ZARONIA.
