Calculation of CDOR
CDOR is calculated using contributed rates from a panel of 6 banks. At January 2021, the six banks are the Bank of Montreal (BMO), National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), CIBC, Bank of Nova Scotia, and the Toronto-Dominion Bank. CDOR is administered in accordance with the EU benchmark regulation.
The benchmark is administrated by Refinitiv (now part of London Stock Exchange Group). Refinitiv came from the financial business of Thomson Reuters Corporation.
