Rating Agency of the Year Awards 2024: Without fear or favour
Capital markets remained challenging for both issuers and investors last year as evidenced by the plunge in G3 bond issuance in Asia, outside of Japan and Australasia. High interest rates, stubborn inflation, elevated geopolitical risks, and market-defining events such as the banking crisis in the United States weighed heavily on credit conditions. It was against such a difficult market backdrop that rating agencies had to perform their task of identifying risks and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of companies and governments seeking to raise funds to maintain operations and pursue growth.
