The index levels will be updated on the switch date to reflect the new 2025 (=100) base.
Rebasing applies to Zero Coupon Inflation Swap (ZCIS) and Standard Coupon Inflation Swap (SCIS) trades in VERIFIED, MATURED, TERMINATED, and BS_BACKLOADED status before the switch date.
Trades referencing the old base must be submitted before 22:00 CET on 27 February 2026 to remain eligible for rebasing. Any trades submitted after this cut-off time will be treated on the new base and will not be rebased.
