IOSCO Announces Project Analyzing Credit Rating Agencies

IOSCO approved a project by its Committee 6 on Credit Rating Agencies ("C6") to gain a better understanding of credit rating agencies ("CRA") and other CRA products and services.

The project will consist of two parts. C6 will undertake (i) a series of information-gathering exercises, which include surveying the issuers of CRA products and services, and (ii) the gathering of information on how CRA issuers, investors and users understand and utilize CRA products.
