In response to ongoing changes in the banking industry, Moody’s Ratings continues to enhance its bank rating methodology in order to maintain the relevance and accuracy of credit analysis and ratings.
As part of Moody’s bank rating methodology, governance is assessed under a Corporate Behavior framework. Moody’s currently applies Corporate Behavior adjustments to 75 banks globally, most of which are negative.
Moody’s Ratings approach starts by analyzing a banks intrinsic or standalone strength, without external support, and assigning a Baseline Credit Assessment.
In the Support & Structural Analysis component, consideration is given to the potential for external or Affiliate Support, the expected loss in the event of a default or bank failure, the Loss Given Failure, and the likelihood of Government Support.
