Whilst taking a curve other than the day end curve is relatively easy to do (once we have agreed a formal procedure and changed the IT feeds) and would give us only minor P&L concerns on a daily basis there is an impact on determining and hedging our USD cashflows. This would undoubtedly be a cost to the UK business. Shane is going to put a note together to outline the issues and have a stab at attaching a monetary cost (although I expect he will have to guesstimate the amounts). Depending on the size this will need to be communicated to the business heads here in London.

The Libor curve is published daily in Houston at 3:00 pm (CST) at the close of US Trading. The Global Products books are now final closed from Houston so their areas should not be impacted. We will update you when we have spoken to James regarding his areas and possible ways Rate & Currency can assist.

We are today implementing a flash P&L process. We aim to report daily numbers at 7am Houston time and will start today with the P&L. We will build on this and hope to have draft positions and VAR for most books within a week or so. There will be a reconciliation of flash to final numbers which will be included in our return to Houston. I will put together a note on the London DPR production process which goes into the process we currently have, the process we actually need to have, and the obstacles that are in the way. I would expect this to be finalised tomorrow. Obtaining the USD interest rate curve on a more timely basis is just one of our problems but it is unfortunately by no means our only or most serious problem.

I am also told that it is really not necessary to wait for this curve and the data could be submitted close of business London. Even if there was some minor inaccuracy from this method it would be better than what we have now. This would greatly improve the efficiency (by 4 to 6 hours) in reporting to senior management. Can you guys initiate this change or get me to the right person there. Thanks, Rick
