Any United Nations bond issue would be evaluated by market participants and potential investors by its credit rating, which is a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of the bond issue by an independent credit rating agency.

The credit rating agencies would probably evaluate the United Nations for credit rating purposes based on various criteria, including

The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale Revised Edition, Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale, and Family Day Care Rating Scale were initiated as performance measures.

Rating agencies have been and should remain an important aspect of modern capital markets. But to make ratings work, the raters need to be rated.

This can be done by making raters profits depend not on satisfying the issuers that select them, but on performing well for investors. If raters profits depend on such performance on the accuracy of their ratings the profit motive would turn from a source of perverse incentives to a provider of beneficial incentives.

Internal audit ratings

The United Nations goal with respect to the credit rating would be to convince the credit rating agencies to treat the borrowing as quasi sovereign for credit rating purposes.

For such a mechanism to work well, it must link the number of assignments won by raters, and thus their compensation, to appropriate measures of their performance. Such measures should focus on what makes ratings valuable for the investors who use them their accuracy in forecasting financial health.

Performance evaluation and reporting for UNICEF representatives includes an assessment of the level of participation with the United Nations country team.

Disappointment about the raters performance, and skepticism about the effectiveness of regulation, has led to calls to eliminate any regulatory reliance on ratings. If ratings are not backed by the force of law, so the argument goes, regulators need not worry about rating quality and can leave the monitoring of raters to the market.

A description of how credit ratings for a United Nations bond would be established is set out below.

As private rating agencies live on the fees they collect from rated companies, they cannot easily downgrade important clients or the assets they sell. The big American investment banks received excellent ratings up to the last moment, and so did the CDOs with which they betrayed the world.
