On 25 September 2026, the Bank of England’s SONIA Stakeholder Advisory Group convened to discuss the ongoing administration of the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA). The group, composed of market participants and industry experts, provides the Bank and the SONIA Oversight Committee with advice and technical input on the index’s methodology, data quality, and governance. The minutes indicate that the committee reviewed recent updates to the index’s calculation framework and identified areas for further refinement, particularly in the treatment of low‑volume and short‑duration transactions.
The session also covered the role of the LOW and SOL instruments in the broader interest‑rate framework. Participants examined how these instruments interact with SONIA‑based derivatives and the implications for market liquidity and pricing. The discussion highlighted the need for continued collaboration between the Bank, the Oversight Committee, and market stakeholders to ensure the index remains robust and transparent.
The minutes were reported by NASA‑News and BOE‑News and appear in the markets section of the Bank’s communications. The updates provide insight into the regulatory oversight of a key benchmark used across the UK financial system.
