Objective
The financial crisis and the euro debt crisis highlighted the crucial role of credit rating agencies (CRAs) and their impact on the actions of investors, borrowers, issuers and governments.
The EU regulatory package on CRAs in force since 20 June 2013 consisting of Regulation 462/2013 and Directive 2013/14/EU reinforced the existing rules and introduced several improvements to the governing framework, e.g. reduced reliance on credit ratings, enhanced transparency, additional sovereign debt ratings requirements, a liability regime for actions by CRAs and specific provisions regarding conflicts of interest. The conference will offer regulators, CRA representatives and market participants in-depth guidance on the relevant regulatory framework in a European and international context.
Key topics
- Regulation of CRAs in the EU and US
- Reliance on CRA ratings
- Liability of CRAs
- Competition in the CRA market
- Impact of CRAs on financial markets
Who should attend?
Lawyers working in finance ministries, financial supervisory authorities, the banking, (re)insurance and funds industries, credit rating agencies and other interest groups.
