"Investors still continue to believe, for the most part, that a small delay beyond 2021 may be needed to see the transition through, but nearly 83 percent of our investors believe that market usage of LIBOR will stop by end-2021 or a short time thereafter," Barclays wrote in a report based off a survey of nearly 100 rates, credit, and money-market clients.
