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.

Even if ratings were no longer required or encouraged by law, however, demand for ratings and the need to improve their reliability would remain. Many investors are unable to examine the extent to which a bond fund s high yield is due to risk taking, and would thus benefit from a rating of the fund s holdings.

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.

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.

In principle, credit ratings are based on statistical models of past defaults in practice, however, with few national defaults having actually occurred, sovereign ratings are often a subjective affair. Analysts at ratings agencies follow developments in the country for which they are responsible and, when necessary, travel there to review the situation.

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.
