Argus Benchmark Administration

Argus Benchmark Administration B.V. (ABA) is authorised by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM)) pursuant to Article 34(1)(a) of the EU Benchmark Regulation (2016/1011) and is listed as an authorised benchmark administrator in the European Securities & Markets Authority (ESMA) public register.

ABA currently administers the benchmarks listed below. These instruments are currently listed on UK-based exchanges, and are therefore not technically in scope of the EU’s Benchmark Regulation (BMR). All benchmarks administered by ABA adhere to the IOSCO Principles for Oil Price Reporting Agencies, including an annual assurance review by an independent external auditor.

The LNG price assessments listed below are notified by ABA to the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) under the EU Market Correction Mechanism regulation (EU 2022/2578). These assessments are used by ACER as part of a calculation to establish a reference price for the activation and de-activation of a possible bidding limit for derivatives contracts. None of the LNG price assessments listed below currently fall within the scope of the EU BMR.

  • LNG ‘Northwest Europe des – half-month 2’
  • LNG ‘Iberian peninsula des – half-month 2’
  • LNG ‘Italy des – half-month 2’
  • LNG ‘Greece des – half-month 2’

Argus price assessments seek to reflect market value and use an appropriate methodology that reflects the way each commodity market trades. These methodologies are developed in consultation with market stakeholders and are reviewed regularly. They are publicly available on our website and are governed by the Argus Global Compliance Policy.
