NEW FRAMEWORKS AND CRITERIA IN CREDIT RATING SYSTEMS

Sustaining Economic Expansion
Panel Session
Congress Centre, Conference Hall B1

Credit rating agencies wield tremendous influence on capital markets. Investors and regulators use ratings in order to make investment decisions, develop their own analytical risk management systems, and adopt regulatory and capital requirement standards. How are rating agencies impacting global financial markets and how do market participants perceive the current work of credit agencies? How are investors currently reconciling differences between ratings from various agencies, and what steps should agencies take to introduce more transparency and build trust in their analysis?
