Moody’s Investors Service: Best Credit Risk Analysis LATAM 2023
Businesses worldwide trust Moody’s to assign the credit ratings that signal their investment worthiness to potential shareholders and finance providers. Moody’s Investors Service is the first point of contact in the rating process. It connects prospective clients with a relationship manager and then assigns an analytical team to review the company’s submitted documentation. The analytical team goes over the material with company management and then passes the analysis on to the rating committee. Issuers receive a ratings notification and review the press release prior to publication. Moody’s Local, a domestic credit ratings platform launched in 2019, provides the regional expertise to complement the group’s global coverage.
