Complementing Your Credit Risk Mosaic with Credit Benchmark Webinar

Following years of accommodative monetary policies, central banks across the globe are raising interest rates at record pace to address surging inflation concerns. As a result, credit spreads are widening, refinancing costs are soaring, and the banking sector has experienced significant turmoil with major failures and collapses, intensifying counterparty risk concerns. In today’s challenging credit risk environment, firms agree that the more credit risk data and the greater number of perspectives on an entity’s credit risk, the better. Therefore, we are pleased to introduce Credit Benchmark's Credit Consensus Ratings as an additional metric to incorporate into your firms' credit risk mosaic alongside Bloomberg's default probability metrics from DRSK and MIPD.
This webinar will offer insights into how customers can:
  • Analyze the credit risk of an issuer using Bloomberg's DRSK and MIPD data
  • Incorporate and interpret insights from Credit Benchmark's Credit Consensus Ratings
  • Automate and scale-up your credit risk analysis through Enterprise Data feeds
