providing stand alone governance scores in 2011 while continuing to incorporate governance analysis in global and local scale credit ratings 10 management and governance criteria edit in november 2012 s p published its criteria for evaluating insurers and non financial enterprises management and governance credit factors 11 these scores are not standalone but rather a component used by s p in assessing an enterprise s overall creditworthiness s p updated its management and governance scoring methodology as part of a larger effort to include enterprise risk management analysis in its rating of debt issued by non financial companies scoring of management and governance is made on a scale of weak fair satisfactory or strong depending on the mix of positive and negative management scores and the existence and severity of governance deficiencies 12 downgrades of countries edit downgrade of u s long term credit rating edit main article united states federal government credit rating downgrade 2011 on august 5 2011 following enactment of the budget control act of 2011 s p lowered the us s sovereign long term credit rating from aaa to aa 13 the press release sent with the decision said in part the downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what in our view would be necessary to stabilize the government s medium term debt dynamics more broadly the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness stability and predictability of american policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on april 18 2011 since then we have changed our view of the difficulties in bridging the gulf between the political parties over fiscal policy which makes us pessimistic about the capacity of congress and the administration to be able to leverage their agreement this week into a broader fiscal consolidation plan that stabilizes the government s debt dynamics any time soon 13 the united states department of the treasury where acting assistant secretary for economic policy john bellows had first called s p s attention to its 2 trillion error in calculating the ten year deficit reduction under the budget control act commented the magnitude of this mistake and the haste with which s p changed its principal rationale for action when presented with this error raise fundamental questions about the credibility and integrity of s p s ratings action 14 the following day s p acknowledged in writing the us 2 trillion error in its calculations saying the error had no impact on the rating decision and adding 15 in taking a longer term horizon of 10 years the u s net general government debt level with the current assumptions would be 20 1 trillion 85 of 2021 gdp with the original assumptions the debt level was projected to be 22 1 trillion 93 of 2021 gdp 15 in 2013 s p was sued by the department of justice for its role in the 2008 mortgage crisis 16 although it initially alleged that this suit was brought in retaliation for its downgrade s p retracted this allegation as part of its master settlement agreement 17 downgrade of france s long term credit rating edit on november 11 2011 s p erroneously announced the cut of france s triple a rating aaa french leaders said that the error was inexcusable and called for even more regulation of private credit rating agencies 18 19 on january 13 2012 s p truly cut france s aaa rating lowering it to aa this was the first time since 1975 that europe s second biggest economy france had been downgraded to aa the same day s p downgraded the rating of eight other european countries austria spain italy portugal malta slovenia slovakia and cyprus 20 publications edit the company publishes the outlook a weekly investment advisory newsletter for individuals and professional investors published continuously since 1922 21 credit week is produced by standard poor s credit market services group it offers a comprehensive view of the global credit markets providing credit rating news and analysis standard poor s offers numerous other editorials investment commentaries and news updates for financial markets companies industries stocks bonds funds economic outlook and investor education all publications are available to subscribers 22 s p dow jones indices publishes several blogs that do not require a subscription to access these include indexology vix views and housing views 23 criticism edit see also credit rating agency criticism and united states public debt role in the 2008 financial crisis edit credit rating agencies such as s p have been cited for contributing to the 2008 financial crisis 24 credit ratings of aaa the highest rating available were given to large portions of even the riskiest pools of loans in the collateralized debt obligation cdo market when the real estate bubble burst in 2007 many loans went bad due to falling housing prices and the inability of bad creditors to refinance investors who had trusted the aaa rating to mean that cdo were low risk had purchased large amounts that later experienced staggering drops in value or could not be sold at any price for example institutional investors lost 125 million on 340 7 million worth of cdos issued by credit suisse group despite being rated aaa by s p 25 24 companies pay s p moody s and fitch to rate their debt issues as a result some critics have contended that the credit ratings agencies are beholden to these issuers in a conflict of interests and that their ratings are not as objective as they ought to be due to this pay to play model 26 in 2015 standard and poor s paid 1 5 billion to the u s justice department various state governments and the california public employees retirement system to settle lawsuits asserting its inaccurate ratings defrauded investors 27 criticism of sovereign debt ratings edit in april 2009 the company called for new faces in the irish government which was seen as interfering in the democratic process in a subsequent statement they said they were misunderstood 28 s p acknowledged making a us 2 trillion error in its justification for downgrading the credit rating of the united states in 2011 29 but stated that it had no impact on the rating decision 30 australian federal court decision edit in november 2012 judge jayne jagot of the federal court of australia found that a reasonably competent ratings agency could not have rated the rembrandt 2006 3 cpdo aaa in these circumstances 31 and s p s rating of aaa of the rembrandt 2006 2 and 2006 3 cpdo notes was misleading and deceptive and involved the publication of information or statements false in material particulars and otherwise involved negligent misrepresentations to the class of potential investors in australia which included local government financial services pty ltd and the councils because by the aaa rating there was conveyed a representation that in s p s opinion the capacity of the notes to meet all financial obligations was extremely strong and a representation that s p had reached this opinion based on reasonable grounds and as the result of an exercise of reasonable care when neither was true and s p also knew not to be true at the time made 31 in conclusion jagot found standard poor s to be jointly liable along with abn amro and local government financial services pty ltd 31 antitrust review edit in november 2009 ten months after launching an investigation the european commission ec formally charged s p with abusing its position as the sole provider of international securities identification codes for united states of america securities by requiring european financial firms and data vendors to pay licensing fees for their use this behavior amounts to unfair pricing the ec said in its statement of objections which lays the groundwork for an adverse finding against s p the numbers are indispensable for a number of operations that financial institutions carry out for instance reporting to authorities or clearing and settlement and cannot be substituted 32 s p has run the cusip service bureau the only international securities identification number isin issuer in the us on behalf of the american bankers association in its formal statement of objections the ec alleged that s p is abusing this monopoly position by enforcing the payment of licence fees for the use of us isins by a banks and other financial services providers in the eea and b information service providers in the eea it claims that comparable agencies elsewhere in the world either do not charge fees at all or do so on the basis of distribution cost rather than usage 33 see also edit portals new york city companies economics global industry classification standard list of
