Ratings: 26S&P Global Ratings Thought Leadership
Located in the world’s major financial hubs, S&P Global Ratings’ experienced team of 1,500+ analysts and economists provides essential research and data on issues that matter to investors and other financial market participants. In the past year, we focused our attention on providing data-driven insights and timely analysis on the changing credit and financing conditions, including the vast market implications of rising inflation and interest rates, slowing economic growth, and flaring geopolitical risks.
Our cross-sector analytical and research teams continued to publish other forward-looking credit-related analyses on topical market themes, including private debt markets and financing, energy transition, crypto and cyber disruption, and global aging. Amid rising investor interest in Emerging Markets, we also deepened our macroeconomic and credit views of Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America in a dedicated series of research and events.
With investors seeking more and clearer information on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, S&P Global Ratings provided additional disclosure and perspectives in the areas of sustainable finance and ESG. In December 2022, we announced the acquisition of the Shades of Green business, further expanding the depth of our second-party opinions (SPOs) offering. The acquisition is part of our ongoing efforts to build capabilities and expertise to support the development of the sustainable debt market.
Broad and Deep Analytical Coverage
