Modification de la SEC sur les agences de notation

Securities and Exchange Commission, février 2009 - La Securities and Exchange Commission vient de rendre public de nouvelles propositions pour modifier la règlementation des agences de notation.

Résumé : In conjunction with the publication today, in a separate release, of the Commission’s final rule amendments to its existing rules governing the conduct of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), the Commission is proposing amendments which would require the public disclosure of credit rating histories for all outstanding credit ratings issued by an NRSRO on or after June 26, 2007 paid for by the obligor being rated or by the issuer, underwriter, or sponsor of the security being rated. The Commission also is soliciting detailed information about the issues surrounding the application of a disclosure requirement on subscriber-paid credit ratings. The Commission is re-proposing for comment an amendment to its conflict or interest rule that would prohibit an NRSRO from issuing a rating for a structured finance product paid for by the product’s issuer, sponsor, or underwriter unless the information about the product provided to the NRSRO to determine the rating and, thereafter, to monitor the rating is made available to other persons. The Commission is proposing these rules to address concerns about the integrity of the credit rating procedures and methodologies at NRSROs.
