Spreading to the Core: Market Signals of European Sovereign Contagion
Contagion fears have shifted in recent weeks from the peripheral European sovereign countries to France and Germany, as evidenced by increased correlations of their default risk metrics, according to a report from Moody’s Analytics. The absolute levels of default risk differ hugely between the peripheral and core European countries, of course. But the greater co-movement between them, mainly through the transmission mechanism of their banking systems, signals that the European sovereign crisis could be entering a new phase...

Accounting & Financial Reporting Analysis
Since its creation in 2002, Moody's Accounting Specialist Group has worked alongside Moody's credit analysts to incorporate accounting, financial reporting and internal control practices more systematically into the credit rating process. The group publishes research comments on issues within its area of expertise which Moody’s believes impact rated issuers’ credit quality. The group also conducts training for Moody’s analysts on relevant financial reporting, accounting and internal control issues which impact ratings. The Accounting Specialist Group is part of broader initiative to bring specialized expertise to Moody’s credit rating process. Along with specialists in accounting, financial reporting and internal controls, Moody’s Enhanced Analytic Group also has specialists with expertise in corporate governance; risk management; and complex financial instruments.
Build America Bonds
The authorization of Build America Bonds (BABs) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) opened up the municipal market to a new broader group of investors who traditionally focus on taxable credits. With a significant portion of 2009 and 2010 municipal bonds issued as Build America Bonds, Moody's research provides insights into credit trends in the taxable municipal bond market.
Covenants
Bond investors have become increasingly concerned about event risk and the absence of meaningful covenant protections in bond indentures, which leaves them exposed to potential credit losses. Moody's Covenant Quality Assessment (CQA) service provides an informed opinion of Covenant Quality, helping you make better decisions and saving you time.
Corporate Governance Analysis
Since its creation in 2003, Moody's Corporate Governance Group has worked alongside Moody's credit analysts to incorporate governance more systematically into the credit rating process. The Group also focuses on analyst education on corporate governance, and periodically publishes special comments on particular governance issues.
Financial Regulation
This site contains Moody’s Investors Service research on banking regulation and risk management across all geographical franchises. We endeavour to provide our subscribers with up to the date commentaries on the latest developments in banking regulation and what they mean for banks ratings. We also provide commentaries on evolving risk management and risk governance practices and their credit implications.
