NSW has maintained its AAA credit rating with international ratings agency Moody's. The NSW government used the desire to retain the AAA rating with Moody's and Standard & Poor's as the rationale behind decisions taken in its unpopular mini-budget on November 11 last year. Standard & Poor's placed the state on a negative outlook after the state government's electricity privatisation plan failed to pass the NSW parliament last year. NSW Treasurer Eric Roozendaal said Thursday's affirmation of the AAA rating by Moody's was recognition of NSW's "strong governance and management". "This independent report endorses the underlying strength of the NSW government's balance sheet, which is important during these tough economic times," Mr Roozendaal said in a statement. | not-forward | www.smh.com.au | https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw-maintains-aaa-rating-from-moodys-20090122-7nkv.html |
Dollar emerging market credit remained sturdy, with the hike and subsequent rhetoric from the Fed meeting negating external factors such as lower commodity prices and Brazil's cut to Junk status by rating agency Fitch. Brazil's sovereign 5-yr CDS spread saw a 22bps widening to 476bps yesterday, but this negative credit action had limited impact on US dollar denominated Latam corporate debt.

The big 3 credit ratings firms seem to have missed nearly every major crisis, collapse, bankruptcy and default of the past few decades. The fear is that they will – belatedly, and without providing any meaningful insight (beyond CYA) further pummel Greek government bonds by lowering their ratings for Greece.

The upgrades in GIB's ratings provide an important independent validation of the bank's GCC-focused merchant banking strategy. The upgrade in the Standard & Poor's rating to A-, which follows an upgrade in the Fitch rating to A- in December 2003, also represents a transition across an important threshold as recognised by the new Basel II capital adequacy proposals which assign significantly lower capital requirements to banks rated A- and above".

"In particular, strong revenue gains have been largely driven by above-expectations corporate tax receipts, which have increased from less than 10% of total revenue in 2014 to 17.2% in 2018, having benefited from the increased presence of multinational corporations. On the other hand, health-related expenditure has consistently exceeded budgeted spending," Moody's noted. "This suggests that volatility in corporate tax receipts could pose a risk to public finances." Moody's said that based on Exchequer calculations, a disorderly Brexit could cause the budget deficit to widen to between 0.5%-1.5% of GDP in 2020.

The proposed bond's Ba2 senior secured rating reflects the airport's strong market position and robust passenger traffic, which would likely grow at a high single-digit percentage per annum over the next 18 months under Moody's base case scenario, it said. The rating agency however, said Delhi Airport's ratings are constrained by its planned capacity expansion, which would exert downward pressure on its financial metrics, the evolving regulatory environment in India and its obligation to pay 45.99 per cent of its revenue to the Airports Authority of India as a concession fee. After accounting for the proposed USD notes, Moody's expects that DIAL's funds from operations/debt would remain weak over the next 2-3 years, with a very limited buffer above the minimum tolerance level of 3-4 per cent Moody's said. | forward | www.asianage.com | https://www.asianage.com/amp/business/companies/070519/gmr-to-raise-usd-350-million-via-bonds-for-delhi-airport-expansion.html |

The counter has seen huge trading volumes with a combined 63.61 million shares changed hands on the BSE and NSE so far. Moody's Investors Service, ("Moody's") on Tuesday, February 27, 2018, has affirmed the long-term local and foreign currency bank deposit rating of the bank at B1, and changed the outlook to positive from stable. The positive outlook reflects the upward pressure that could develop on the bank's long-term rating, if its credit fundamentals -- namely the capital position -- continue to improve over the next 12-18 months due to capital infusions from the Indian government, Moody's said in a press release. Based on the announced allocations of this capital to individual banks, IDBI will receive Rs 78.81 billion in new capital by March 2018. Moody's continues to assume a very high probability of government support for IDBI, resulting in three-notch uplift to the deposit rating from the baseline credit assessment (BCA). | forward | www.business-standard.com | https://www.business-standard.com/amp/article/markets/idbi-bank-gains-8-in-weak-market-118030100579_1.html |

Moreover, hybrid work presents greater potential flexibility to travel, and S&P Global Economics forecasts real consumer spending will remain positive in 2023 (albeit below 2022 levels). We expect higher capacity will spur growth in the company's operating results and more than offset cost pressures mainly from elevated jet fuel prices and rising labour costs. A shortage of trained pilots and other staff (such as maintenance, air traffic controllers), as well as delays in narrow-body aircraft deliveries, will likely persist at least into next year. In our view, the lack of excess capacity should limit downside to fares and our estimates for American. American's debt levels are significant, but improving credit measures should lessen refinancing risk Our ICR on American reflects the airline's substantial debt and large maturities that present refinancing risk. The company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt was relatively stable in 2022, at about US$39 billion. | forward | www.aircraftinteriorsinternational.com | https://www.aircraftinteriorsinternational.com/industry-opinion/american-airlines-positive-financial-outlook.html |
The corporate credit rating on Longfor reflects thecompany's rapid growth strategy and short track record as alarge-scale developer. In addition, Longfor is exposed to thehigh-end real estate market in tier-one cities in China. Thissegment is challenging because it is affected by governmentpolicies to cool investment demand and housing prices.Nevertheless, in our view, the company's good competitiveposition and strong execution capability are likely to improveits financial performance despite the uncertain outlook forChina's real estate market. While Longfor's results for the first six months of thisyear met our expectation, its debt-to-capital ratio was higherthan we had anticipated, at 50%. The company's recent Hong Kongdollar 3 billion share placement will alleviate some of thepressure on its capital structure, in our opinion. | not-forward | www.cnbc.com | https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/10/textsp-assigns-bb-and-cnbbb-rtgs-to-longfors-proposed-notes.html |
