Rating Methodology Request for CommentBank Financial Strength Ratings: Revised MethodologySummaryThis report details Moody’s proposal to revise our rating methodology for assigning Bank Financial Strength Ratings (BFSRs) globally.1 This revision does not change the main factors that Moody’s considers in rating banks. However,the revised approach provides a single, global methodology instead of separate methodologies for mature and develop-ing markets. It also establishes specific ranges for each factor that relate to different rating categories. The updated methodology is intended to provide investors and issuers with a transparent set of guidelines allowing them to better understand our rating process and how we reach our decisions.T o this end, we have developed a rating scorecard that uses a common set of globally available financial metrics together with key qualitative factors that Moody’s analysts consider critical in evaluating a bank’s intrinsic financial strength and specific weights for each factor. This scorecard will be used by Moody’s analysts as the first step in deter-mining BFSRs. It should also enable investors and issuers to independently estimate a BFSR for most banks within two notches. This report describes the scorecard and discusses some of its limitations as well as some of the further adjust-ments that Moody’s analysts may employ in assigning BFSRs.The revised methodology is also intended to improve the consistency of Moody’s BFSRs. As previously announced, Moody’s intends to incorporate joint-default analysis (JDA) into our assessment of external support for banks later this year.2 We believe the updated BFSR methodology will help ensure that existing BFSRs are indeed “pure” measures of stand-alone financial strength and do not include external support. This is important in order to avoid double counting external support when we implement JDA for banks. We are requesting comments because we believe that the implementation of this methodology could lead to changes in the BFSRs for a significant number of banks, although we do not expect most of those to exceed 2 notches.Readers should note that this methodology is not an exhaustive treatment of every factor considered by Moody’s in assigning bank financial strength ratings, but it should enable our constituents to better understand how and why we arrive at a BFSR. Moody’s welcomes comments or suggestions on this proposal from market participants. Comments should be sent to cpc@ by September 29, 2006.1.Moody's current approach is outlined in the following Rating Methodology reports: "Bank Credit Risk -- An Analytical Framework for Banks in Developed Markets," April 1999 and "Bank Credit Risk in Emerging Markets -- An Analytical Framework," July 1999.2.Please see "Request for Comment: Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis for Systemic Support into Moody's Bank Rating Methodology ," October 2005; "Update to Proposal to Incorporate Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Rating Methodology ," April 2006; and "Bank Joint Default Analysis: Rating Methodology Update," August 2006.New YorkDavid Fanger 1.212.553.1653Rosemarie Conforte Jeanne Del Casino Greg Bauer Laura Levenstein LondonLynn Exton 44.20.7772.5454Adel Satel Antonio Carballo MadridMaria Cabanyes 34.91.310.14.54TokyoMutsuo Suzuki 81.3.5408.4000Yasunobu Doi SingaporeDeborah Schuler 65.6398.8300Hong KongJerry Chien 852.2916.1121 Contact PhoneSeptember 2006About Moody’s Bank Financial Strength RatingsBank credit risk is a function of a bank’s (i) intrinsic financial strength, (ii) the likelihood that it would benefit from external support in the case of need, and (iii) the risk that it would fail to make payments owing to the actions of a sov-ereign. Moody’s assigns credit risk ratings to banks and their debt obligations using a multi-step process that incorpo-rates both a bank’s intrinsic risk profile and specific external support and risk elements that can affect its overall credit risk.Moody’s Bank Financial Strength Ratings (BFSRs) represent Moody’s opinion of a bank’s intrinsic safety and soundness. Assigning a BFSR is the first step in Moody’s bank credit rating process.Unlike Moody’s deposit and debt ratings, BFSRs do not address either the probability of timely payment (i.e. default risk) or the loss that an investor may suffer in the event of a missed payment (i.e. severity of loss). Instead, BFSRs are a measure of the likelihood that a bank will require assistance from third parties such as its owners, its industry group, or official institutions, in order to avoid a default. BFSRs do not take into account the probability that the bank will receive such external support, nor do they address the external risk that sovereign actions may interfere with a bank’s ability to honor its domestic or foreign currency obligations.In order to differentiate Moody’s BFSRs from our bank deposit and debt ratings, we use different rating symbols. Moody’s BFSRs range from A to E, with “A” for banks with the greatest intrinsic financial strength and “E” for banks with the least intrinsic financial strength. A “+” modifier may be appended to ratings below the “A” category and a “-”modifier may be appended to ratings above the “E” category to identify those banks which are placed higher (+) or lower (-) in a rating category.Moody’s introduced BFSRs in 1995, and currently assigns them to almost a thousand banks and deposit-taking financial institutions worldwide. The factors considered in the assignment of BFSRs were described in Moody’s last bank rating methodologies published in 1999, and continue to form the basis of our updated approach as described in this report. These include bank-specific elements such as financial fundamentals, franchise value, and business and asset diversification, as well as risk factors in the bank’s operating environment, such as the strength and prospective performance of the economy, the structure and relative fragility of the financial system, and the quality of banking reg-ulation and supervision.The following diagram shows how BFSRs fit into Moody’s overall approach to assigning bank credit ratings. The left side shows the principal factors that are used to determine a bank’s BFSR. This report describes how these are measured and analyzed to derive a BFSR.2Moody’s Rating MethodologyThe right side of the diagram summarizes the specific external support and risk elements that are combined with the BFSR to determine Moody’s local currency and foreign currency deposit and debt ratings. In October 2005 Moody’s proposed to incorporate joint-default analysis (JDA) into how it evaluates external support factors for banks; we published updates on this proposal in April and August 2006. We expect to publish and implement a final method-ology incorporating JDA into Moody’s bank credit ratings later this year.The BFSR will be mapped directly to the baseline credit assessment in Moody’s JDA framework. Like the BFSR, a baseline credit assessment is a measure of an issuer’s stand-alone default risk assuming there is no systemic or other external support. For banks, the baseline credit assessment reflects what the local currency deposit rating would be without any assumed external support from a government or other third party. In the October 2005 request for com-ment we published a mapping showing how Moody’s BFSRs translate into a baseline credit assessment for banks using Moody’s traditional alphanumeric rating scale.A more detailed discussion of how Moody’s evaluates the risk elements that affect foreign currency ratings for banks can be found in the 1999 bank rating methodologies, as well as in more recent publications.3About the Rated UniverseMoody’s currently assigns BFSRs to 959 financial institutions globally (as of August 21, 2006). These financial institu-tions generally fall under the category of deposit-taking institutions, including commercial banks, savings banks, build-ing societies, cooperative banks, thrifts, and government-owned banks. Moody’s BFSRs may also be assigned to other types of financial institutions such as multilateral development banks, government-sponsored financial institutions and national development financial institutions.In a number of countries Moody’s also assigns BFSRs to a variety of other financial institutions (such as mortgage banks or other specialized banks) that, although they do not take deposits, are still chartered and regulated as banks and usually obtain some funding from the interbank market.BFSRs are generally assigned to individual banks, including those that are subsidiaries or affiliates of another bank. Therefore, there are some banking groups that have a number of banks with different BFSRs.The rated universe is spread throughout the world, with the highest concentrations in Europe, followed by the Americas, Asia (excluding Japan), Japan and the Middle East. Rated banks range in size from over $1 trillion in total assets to as small as $150 million. Some may be truly diversified global institutions, while others may operate on an extremely limited scale in a small local market.Distribution of Moody’s Bank Financial Strength Ratings3.Please see "Revised Country Ceiling Policy," June 2001; "Emerging Market Bank Ratings in Local and Foreign Currency: The Implications of Country Risk and Insti-tutional Support," December 2001; "The Implications of Highly Dollarized Banking Systems for Sovereign Credit Risk," March 2003; and "Piercing the Country Ceil-ing: An Update," January 2005.Moody’s Rating Methodology3The inherent riskiness of the banking business – as characterized by high leverage (equity capital of only 5-10% of total assets), illiquid assets (loans) financed by short-term liabilities (deposits), and a cyclical business environment –makes it difficult for all but a select number of banks that are generally extremely large and diversified to achieve and maintain a BFSR in the range from A to a high B. Solid, diversified and sustainable franchises and excellent manage-ment are also necessary attributes of A and B BFSRs.However, barring systemic stress and provided there is reasonable client confidence, banking, if conservatively managed without excessive risk-taking, is also a business allowing a stable generation of interest and fee income, albeit perhaps at a lower level of overall profitability. Therefore, BFSRs in the C category are generally available to a large number of banks even if they have limited scale and franchises, and average financials. Many institutions fall under this category. BFSRs of D are generally assigned to those that either are exhibiting modest capital, earnings, or business franchise, thus limiting their ability to deal with asset quality problems or other potential balance sheet risks, or are subject to unpredictable and unstable operating environments. BFSRs of E are typically restricted to those institutions that are under pressure to maintain their capital due to external and internal factors such as a highly volatile operating environment, recurring losses and asset quality problems, or a very high risk profile. However, regulatory forbearance can allow even insolvent banks to operate for an extended period of time, until the regulatory authorities arrange for either a rescue or a restructuring, or place the bank into liquidation.Industry Overview and Current Risk CharacteristicsThe global banking industry is made up of a highly varied group of firms offering a wide range of products and pursu-ing a wide range of business models and customers. While most banks face the same fundamental risks -- credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, interest rate risk, and operational risk -- the extent of such risks vary considerably depending upon the products sold, the bank’s funding profile, and the markets in which it operates.General vs. Specific RisksBanking risk can be broadly divided into general risks, which apply to all banks within a system and derive to a large extent from a country’s economic strength, and specific risks, which are the product of the bank itself. In mature mar-kets, it is rare for serious difficulties experienced by a bank to be solely attributable to general risks, even though such risks certainly do have an impact on the bank’s performance. In most cases, bank failure in mature markets is the result of factors such as mismanagement, risky strategies, structurally poor performance, and franchise collapse. It is, in gen-eral, the weak banks and the highly risky banks that are the first to suffer in a shrinking or increasingly competitive market.In developing markets, general risks loom larger. Not only can general risks be more severe, but it may also be dif-ficult for any bank to avoid the consequences of a severe economic shock (such as a massive currency devaluation) or a deep economic recession. Clearly, banks which are better managed and have stronger earnings, franchises, and balance sheets are better placed to cope with general risks. However, in cases where general risks present a significant threat to the banking system of the country in question, it may well be that no bank can be assigned a BFSR at the upper end of the scale.4Moody’s Rating MethodologyFive Broad Categories of BankingOverall, the diversity of the sector can be broken down into five broad categories of banking institutions. Many banks may actually pursue a combination of these models, but we believe it is useful to address each of them separately to clarify the different risks that different banks can face.1. Wholesale banks: These banks focus on serving large corporate or institutional customers. While many wholesale banks have traditionally focused primarily on lending (and, in some countries, making equity investments), they fre-quently offer a much broader array of services to their customers, including not just loans but also treasury manage-ment and transaction services, foreign exchange services, trade finance, derivatives, debt and equity underwriting and market-making, and insurance. Because their customers are often very large entities, wholesale banks, especially smaller ones, can have significant customer concentration risks; they may also have industry concentration risks, espe-cially if they operate primarily within a particular region or market. Also, while a portion of their activities may be funded with corporate customer deposits, typically such banks are heavily reliant upon wholesale funding from both the interbank and capital markets. Such funding can be highly confidence-sensitive, exposing the bank to substantial liquidity risk if it is not conservatively managed.4Since their customers tend to be concentrated in larger cities and economic regions, wholesale banks generally do not require as substantial a physical presence as most retail banks. With fewer fixed costs, this often means a more flex-ible cost structure. However, customers can develop strong relationships with individual bankers (instead of with the bank itself), making retention of personnel a critical element to long-term success.As discussed below, both globalization and the growth of local capital markets can pose significant challenges for wholesale banks, as more of their customers have the ability to tap the capital markets directly for funding. This can lead to greater earnings volatility, as wholesale banks increase their capital markets activities in order to retain their customers, and also expand into potentially riskier lending businesses to replace lost lending opportunities.2. Retail banks: These banks focus primarily on serving individuals and/or small and middle market businesses. They may offer a wide array of products, including deposit-taking and lending, asset management and insurance, cash man-agement and transaction services, and even trade finance and foreign exchange services. A defining feature of such banks is that they are often locally or regionally focused. This reflects the retail nature of the customer base. While some functions may be centralized, direct customer interaction remains an important part of the service most retail banks provide. Given the wide dispersion of potential customers (both individuals and businesses), and their preference for local interaction, this requires a physical presence in the form of retail branches. Many retail banks also site their branches in clusters to benefit from classic network economies, although this is not always the case. (This is especially true for retail banks serving individuals; retail banks serving only small and middle market businesses may have less need for clusters of branches, but are still likely to require more branches than a wholesale bank.) As retail banks grow, they may develop more and more clusters of branches, growing from merely a local or regional presence into a national or even international one. Nonetheless, even an international retail bank can usually best be thought of as a combination of local retail banks.Given the need to have a significant physical infrastructure and to support significant daily customer transaction volumes, most retail banks have fairly inflexible cost structures. This makes stable revenue generation critical. T o address this need, most retail banks focus on generating recurring business with relationship customers and increasing the level of cross-selling of products including insurance products. Because their customers are small, retail banks do not usually have significant customer concentration risks; however, they may still have industry concentration risks since they frequently operate within a particular region.5Retail banks are often funded primarily with customer deposits. However, pressure to grow assets and earnings, especially in more mature markets, can lead to loan growth that far outstrips deposit growth. Such banks must rely more heavily upon wholesale funding, which can pressure net interest margins, reducing the bank’s profitability, while at the same time also exposing it to greater liquidity risk and interest rate risk.As discussed below, both de-regulation and technological innovation can pose a significant threat to retail banks because they provide their customers with greater access to competing products through alternative distribution chan-nels, and may also reduce competitors’ costs to provide those products. While retail banking has not traditionally pos-sessed much in the way of economies of scale, to the extent that such technological innovations create economies of scale, it may pose even greater challenges to the smaller retail providers.4.Please see discussion of Liquidity Management under Rating Factor 2.5.Please see discussion on Credit Risk Concentrations under Rating Factor 2.Moody’s Rating Methodology53. Universal banks: These banks are not so much a separate business model from either retail banks or wholesale banks, but rather are usually characterized by a combination of retail banking and wholesale banking, frequently also combined with activities such as private banking, asset management, or insurance. Universal banks often rank among the largest banks in a country. Universal banking can potentially provide greater earnings diversification as well as a more stable funding profile (to the extent that the more deposit-rich retail banking activities provide funding for some of the wholesale activities) than either retail banking or wholesale banking can provide on their own. However, the complexity of managing a universal bank can require considerable managerial resources. Furthermore, the disparate activities of a universal bank can at times pose conflicts of interest which, if not carefully managed, can cause reputation damage, harming the franchise. In some jurisdictions, the complexity of a universal bank also raises questions about the depth or effectiveness of regulatory oversight over such disparate activities.4. Policy banks: Moody’s defines policy banks as state-owned institutions that have explicit or implicit public policy mandates. Some state-owned banks have specific public policy mandates. These banks are often heavily dependent on government-directed business, which may or may not be profitable. Other state-owned banks, while not subject to specific public policy mandates, may still have to contend with bureaucratic controls and pressure from politicians that forces them to lend to certain favored industries or regions. Even though such banks may have substantial market shares, they frequently have weak earnings, lack strong management, and suffer from poor asset quality and controls. This usually translates into low BFSRs, although such banks also usually benefit from regulatory forbearance or other forms of government assistance, providing support to their deposit and debt ratings. Even when well run, policy banks usually still have substantial industry concentrations, reflecting their reason for being or the limitations of their char-ters.5. Specialized banks: These are niche players, most often specialized lenders such as mortgage banks, development banks, public-sector lenders, credit card banks, or export-finance entities. Some are the legacy of past government pol-icies and regulatory barriers that disappeared following deregulation and liberalization, while others were formed as a direct result of deregulation and technological innovation. Because they often have limited product offerings and/or a limited customer base, specialized banks can be more vulnerable to competitive pressures or changing economic con-ditions. However, some specialized banks, either by virtue of still-strong regulatory barriers or through substantial economies of scale and a dominant market share, usually combined with a focus on less volatile loan products such as public sector lending or mortgages, can still support high BFSRs. As with wholesale banks, specialized banks are typi-cally heavily reliant upon wholesale funding. Such funding can be highly confidence-sensitive, exposing the bank to substantial liquidity risk if it is not conservatively managed.Although the risks are somewhat different, we also include captive banks in this category. Captives are usually owned or controlled by an industrial corporation and are used to provide financing for customers purchasing products sold by the corporation, and/or to provide internal financing to the corporate and its affiliates, serving in essence as the corporate’s treasury function. Similar to other specialized banks, captives tend to have limited product offerings and a limited customer base. Even when they are lending to customers rather than to the corporate itself, their performance can still be significantly affected by the performance of the corporate.Key Industry Risks: Transformation Will Continue, Whether Banks are Ready or NotThe global banking industry is in the midst of a significant transformation, driven by substantial changes in the busi-ness environment. This transformation, begun in some countries well over a decade ago, is now occurring at different rates of change in most countries around the world. While much of the change is occurring in mature markets, devel-oping markets are also affected. These developments pose significant challenges and risks for all banks. Many banks are struggling to adjust to the substantial changes already underway. Moody’s expects that many banks will not succeed in making the transformation, and will either be driven to consolidate with a more successful competitor or will gradu-ally weaken as its franchise and earnings power are eroded away. Six major catalysts are driving this transformation. •Deregulation – is breaking down barriers within the banking industry in many countries and enabling banks to adopt diversification strategies and to compete against each other on a level playing field. In some countries it is also allowing for the entrance of new specialized competitors.•Disintermediation – a byproduct of deregulation, it is brought about by financial liberalization and the expansion of capital markets, allowing both borrowers and investors to bypass banks in favor of capital market products. The growing trend towards privatization of pension funds is also creating a growing pool of funds managed by invest-ment professionals, helping to fuel this trend.•Technological Innovation – is reducing transaction and information costs, facilitating the creation of new distri-bution channels, and allowing for innovation in retail lending (data mining), funding (securitization), and risk management (derivatives). At the same time, such technologies may also be creating potential economies of scale where none previously existed.6Moody’s Rating Methodology•Globalization – pressures banks to follow their business customers around the world, and forces them to compete with other banks globally for those customers’ business. Globalization gives banks in developing markets access to growing pools of funding due to the growth of global capital markets. However, many banks obtaining first-time access to wholesale funding have shown themselves to be ill-equipped for the liquidity risks such funding can pose. •Privatization – Governments are increasingly seeking to get out of the business of banking. While this is clearly not universal, and in some cases is being done with great reluctance, nonetheless the privatization of formerly state-owned banks could potentially reduce subsidized competition, benefiting all banks competing in the same market. However, the social or political costs of such actions may be more than some governments are willing to tolerate. And for the management of formerly state-owned banks it can be a considerable challenge to develop a credit culture based on analyzing a client’s ability to repay loans, as opposed to relying on imputed state guaran-tees.•Increased shareholder power – with more banks being owned by private investors and with more investment funds being managed by professional investors, banks globally are facing increasing pressure from powerful insti-tutional shareholders for higher returns. T o remain competitive in this more unforgiving market, banks are increasingly shifting to shareholder value-creation strategies, which may not always benefit bondholders. Framework for Assigning Bank Financial Strength RatingsMoody’s bank ratings reflect our opinion of long-term relative risk and are, of necessity, forward-looking in nature because they apply to liabilities that may pay out over long periods of time. Historical experience has shown that look-ing only at the current financial condition of a bank is not always an accurate predictor of its future financial perfor-mance and financial strength. We believe there are significant qualitative factors which play an important role in determining the stability and predictability of a bank’s financial performance over time. Thus Moody’s analytical approach includes significant qualitative analysis in addition to quantitative analysis, and incorporates the opinions and judgments of experienced analysts.As noted above, the factors considered in the assignment of Bank Financial Strength Ratings were described in Moody’s last bank rating methodologies published in 1999, and remain at the basis of the updated methodology. We focus on five key rating factors that we believe are critical to understanding a bank’s financial strength and risk pro-file. They are:1. Franchise Value2. Risk Positioning3. Regulatory Environment4. Operating Environment5. Financial FundamentalsIn the following sections we review the five key rating factors, discuss why each factor is important to our BFSRs, and explain the relevant metrics or “sub-factors” that we use to measure performance for each key rating factor. Some of the metrics that we consider important are purely quantitative, while others include elements of qualitative judg-ment or – where hard data is not reasonably accessible — educated estimates. For those involving a qualitative assess-ment, we have provided qualitative descriptions that we believe help to differentiate among risk profiles at different banks. T o dampen the cyclical nature of the industry, most of the financial metrics we use are three-year averages.For each of these factors, the methodology outlines in a summary mapping table either the range of financial met-rics or the qualitative description that would typically correspond with a given BFSR level, ranging from A to E. Evaluating OutliersIt is unlikely that every bank’s BFSR will be consistent with the rating level guidelines for every rating factor. This is because a bank typically has a variety of strengths and weaknesses which combine to reflect its overall financial risk profile. For those banks that show up as frequent outliers for their respective rating category, there could be several different explanations. The most obvious one would be that there is likely pressure on its BFSR, either up or down. But there also may be unique characteristics of the bank’s accounting, regulatory or market environment that limit the comparability of certain key factors and metrics. And finally, some elements of the bank’s business or financial profile may receive greater weight in our analysis.Moody’s Rating Methodology7。

期权期货与其他衍生产品第九版课后习题与答案Chapter (8)
Chapter 8Securitization and the Credit Crisis of 2007Practice QuestionsProblem 8.1.What was the role of GNMA (Ginnie Mae) in the mortgage-backed securities market of the 1970s?GNMA guaranteed qualifying mortgages against default and created securities that were sold to investors.Problem 8.2.Explain what is meant by a) an ABS and b) an ABS CDO.An ABS is a set of tranches created from a portfolio of mortgages or other assets. An ABS CDO is an ABS created from particular tranches (e.g. the BBB tranches) of a number of different ABSs.Problem 8.3.What is a mezzanine tranche?The mezzanine tranche of an ABS or ABS CDO is a tranche that is in the middle as far as seniority goes. It is ranks below the senior tranches and therefore absorbs losses before they do. It ranks above the equity tranche (so that the equity tranche absorbs losses before it does). Problem 8.4.What is the waterfall in a securitization?The waterfall defines how the cash flows from the underlying assets are allocated to the tranches. In a typical arrangement, cash flows are first used to pay the senior tranches their promised return. The cash flows (if any) that are left over are used to provide the mezzanine tranches with their promised returns. The cash flows (if any) that are left over are then used to provide the equity tranches with their promised returns. Any residual cash flows are used to pay down the principal on the senior tranches.Problem 8.5.What are the numbers in Table 8.1 for a loss rate of a) 12% and b) 15%?Problem 8.6.What is a subprime mortgage?A subprime mortgage is a mortgage where the risk of default is higher than normal. This maybe because the borrower has a poor credit history or the ratio of the loan to value is high or both.Problem 8.7.Why do you think the increase in house prices during the 2000 to 2007 period is referred to as a bubble?The increase in the price of houses was caused by an increase in the demand for houses by people who could not afford them. It was therefore unsustainable.Problem 8.8.Why did mortgage lenders frequently not check on information provided by potential borrowers on mortgage application forms during the 2000 to 2007 period?Subprime mortgages were frequently securitized. The only information that was retained during the securitiza tion process was the applicant’s FICO score and the loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage.Problem 8.9.How were the risks in ABS CDOs misjudged by the market?Investors underestimated how high the default correlations between mortgages would be in stressed market conditions. Investors also did not always realize that the tranches underlying ABS CDOs were usually quite thin so that they were either totally wiped out or untouched. There was an unfortunate tendency to assume that a tranche with a particular rating could be considered to be the same as a bond with that rating. This assumption is not valid for the reasons just mentioned.Problem 8.10.What is meant by the term “agency costs”? How did agency costs play a role in the credit crisis?“Agency costs” is a term used to describe the costs in a situation where the interests of two parties are not perfectly aligned. There were potential agency costs between a) the originators of mortgages and investors and b) employees of banks who earned bonuses and the banks themselves.Problem 8.11.How is an ABS CDO created? What was the motivation to create ABS CDOs?Typically an ABS CDO is created from the BBB-rated tranches of an ABS. This is because it is difficult to find investors in a direct way for the BBB-rated tranches of an ABS.Problem 8.12.Explain the impact of an increase in default correlation on the risks of the senior tranche of an ABS. What is its impact on the risks of the equity tranche?As default correlation increases, the senior tranche of a CDO becomes more risky because it is more likely to suffer losses. As default correlation increases, the equity tranche becomes less risky. To understand why this is so, note that in the limit when there is perfect correlationthere is a high probability that there will be no defaults and the equity tranche will suffer no losses.Problem 8.13.Explain why the AAA-rated tranche of an ABS CDO is more risky than the AAA-rated tranche of an ABS.A moderately high default rate will wipe out the tranches underlying the ABS CDO so that the AAA-rated tranche of the ABS CDO is also wiped out. A moderately high default rate will at worst wipe out only part of the AAA-rated tranche of an ABS.Problem 8.14.Explain why the end-of-year bonus is sometimes r eferred to as “short-term compensation.”The end-of-year bonus usually reflects performance during the year. This type of compensation tends to lead traders and other employees of banks to focus on their next bonus and therefore have a short-term time horizon for their decision making.Problem 8.15.Add rows in Table 8.1 corresponding to losses on the underlying assets of (a) 2%, (b) 6%, (c) 14%, and (d) 18%.Further QuestionsProblem 8.16.Suppose that the principal assigned to the senior, mezzanine, and equity tranches is 70%, 20%, and 10% for both the ABS and the ABS CDO in Figure 8.3. What difference does this make to Table 8.1?‘‘Resecuritization was a badly flawed idea. AAA tranches created from the mezzanine tranches of ABSs are bound to have a higher probability of default than the AAA-rated tranches of ABSs.’’ Discuss this point of view.When the AAA-rated tranches of an ABS experiences defaults, the mezzanine tranches of the ABSs must have been wiped out. As a result the AAA tranche of the ABS CDO has also wiped out. If the portfolios underlying the different ABSs have the same default rates, it must therefore be the case the AAA-rated tranche of the ABS is safer than the AAA-rated tranche of the ABS CDO. If there is a wide variation if the default rates, it is possible for theAAA-rated tranche of the ABS CDO to fare better than some (but not all) AAA rated tranches of the underlying ABSs.Resecuritization can only be successful if the default rates of the underlying ABS portfolios are not highly correlated. The best approach would seem to be to obtain as much diversification as possible in the portfolio of assets underlying the ABS. Resecuritization then has no value.Problem 8.18.Suppose that mezzanine tranches of the ABS CDOs, similar to those in Figure 8.3, are resecuritized to form what is referred to as a “CDO squared.” As in the case of tranches created from ABSs in Figure 8.3, 65% of the principal is allocated to a AAA tranche, 25% to a BBB tranche, and 10% to the equity tranche. How high does the loss percentage have to be on the underlying assets for losses to be experienced by a AAA-rated tranche that is created in this way. (Assume that every portfolio of assets that is used to create ABSs experiences the same loss rate.)For losses to be experienced on the AAA rated tranche of the CDO squared the loss rate on the mezzanine tranches of the ABS CDOs must be greater than 35%. This happens when the loss rate on the mezzanine tranches of ABSs is 10+0.35×25 = 18.75%. This loss rate occurs when the loss rate on the underlying assets is 5+0.1875×15 = 7.81%Problem 8.19.Investigate what happens as the width of the mezzanine tranche of the ABS in Figure 8.3 is decreased with the reduction of mezzanine tranche principal being divided equally between the equity and senior tranches. In particular, what is the effect on Table 8.1?The ABS CDO tranches become similar to each other. Consider the situation where the tranche widths are 12%, 1%, and 87% for the equity, mezzanine, and senior tranches. The table becomes:Suppose that the structure in Figure 8.1 is created in 2000 and lasts 10 years. There are no defaults on the underlying assets until the end of the eighth year when 17% of the principal is lost because of defaults during the credit crisis. No principal is lost during the final two years. There are no repayments of principal until the end. Evaluate the relative performance of the tranches. Assume a constant LIBOR rate of 3%. Consider both interest and principal payments.The cash flows per $100 of principal invested in a tranche are roughly as followsThe internal rates of return for the senior, mezzanine and equity tranches are approximately 3.6%, -6%, and 16.0%. This shows that the equity tranche can fare quite well if defaults happen late in the life of the structure.。
借钱不还的英语作文
借钱不还的看法英语作文1It is a common phenomenon that people sometimes fail to repay the money they borrowed. This behavior is highly unethical and can have severe consequences.Take the relationship between friends for example. Imagine a situation where one friend borrows a considerable amount of money from another with a promise to return it promptly. However, as time passes and the due date comes and goes, the borrower shows no sign of repaying. This can lead to a breakdown in trust and ultimately destroy the friendship.In the business world, the consequences of not repaying debts can be even more dire. A company that owes a large sum of money to its creditors and fails to honor its obligations may find itself in financial distress. This could result in layoffs, loss of reputation, and even bankruptcy.Honesty and integrity are of utmost importance in any financial transaction. When we borrow money, we make a commitment to repay it. Failing to do so not only violates this commitment but also reflects poorly on our character. We should always strive to keep our word and honor our financial obligations, as this is the foundation of a trustworthy and respectful society.It is a common phenomenon that some people fail to repay the money they borrowed. There are several reasons behind this behavior. One of the main causes is excessive personal consumption. Some individuals spend money beyond their means and borrow without a clear plan for repayment. For instance, they might be lured by the temptation of buying the latest electronic devices or fashionable clothes, and end up borrowing money but being unable to pay it back.Another reason is the lack of an effective supervision system in society. When there are no strict regulations and punishments for those who fail to fulfill their debt obligations, debtors may feel less pressured and act without scruples.This issue not only causes harm to the creditors but also has a negative impact on the overall social credit environment. To address this problem, it is essential to establish a sound credit system. This system should include comprehensive records of individuals' borrowing and repayment behaviors, as well as clear and strict consequences for those who default on their debts.In conclusion, only by establishing a sound credit system can we effectively prevent the occurrence of borrowing without repayment and maintain a healthy and stable social economic order.When it comes to the issue of not repaying borrowed money, it is a matter that deserves serious reflection. The act of borrowing money and then failing to return it brings numerous harms. Firstly, for the individual, their credit is damaged. Once their reputation for not repaying debts spreads, it becomes extremely difficult for them to obtain loans in the future when they are truly in need. This not only affects their own financial situation but also limits their development opportunities.Take a look at society as a whole. If such behavior becomes widespread, trust among people will diminish rapidly. The normal operation of the economy will be disrupted as people become hesitant to engage in financial transactions. No one would be willing to lend money or conduct business with others, leading to a stagnation of economic activities.To avoid such a situation, it is crucial for us to establish a correct view of money. We should understand that borrowing money is a responsibility and must be honored. Only by maintaining integrity and fulfilling our financial obligations can we build a healthy and prosperous social and economic environment. Let us all strive to be trustworthy individuals and contribute to a society based on honesty and mutual assistance.It is a common phenomenon that people sometimes fail to repay the money they borrowed, which has caused many problems and negative impacts in our lives. I have witnessed such incidents around me. For instance, one of my neighbors borrowed a considerable amount of money from my family with the promise of returning it within a specified period. However, as time passed, he disappeared without a trace, leaving us in a state of anxiety and disappointment. This incident not only caused financial losses to my family but also damaged the friendly relationship we once had with him.Another example is a colleague at work who owed money to several colleagues but refused to pay it back. This created a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere in the workplace, affecting everyone's mood and teamwork. People began to lose trust in him, and his reputation was severely damaged.The issue of borrowing money and not repaying it is not only a matter of financial transaction but also reflects a person's integrity and moral character. It is essential for us to be responsible and keep our promises when borrowing money. At the same time, we should also be cautious when lending money to others and ensure that there is a clear agreement and guarantee to avoid unnecessary disputes and losses.In today's globalized society, the issue of borrowing money and not repaying it is a common concern that varies in different countries. In some countries, there are strict legal sanctions in place to deal with this problem. For instance, severe fines and even imprisonment may be imposed on those who fail to fulfill their financial obligations. This approach acts as a powerful deterrent, making people think twice before borrowing and ensuring they do their best to repay.On the other hand, in other nations, credit rating systems play a crucial role. A person's credit score can be significantly affected if they do not repay borrowed money. This can lead to difficulties in obtaining loans, renting properties, or even getting certain jobs. Such systems encourage individuals to maintain a good credit history and honor their debts.However, despite these measures, the problem persists. To improve this situation, we need to raise public awareness about the importance of financial integrity. Schools and families should educate young people on the responsibilities that come with borrowing. Moreover, financial institutions could provide better guidance and support to borrowers, helping them manage their debts effectively.In conclusion, a combination of strict legal measures, effective credit rating systems, and enhanced education is needed to address the issue of borrowing money and not repaying it, creating a more trustworthy andstable financial environment for all.。

The credit card trap1 I have a confession. Several years ago, I was standing in a queue to collect some theatre tickets for my family, and my friend was doing the same for hers. I got mine, and paid for them by credit card, feeling contented by the convenience of this cash- free transaction. It was then her turn to pay. The whole operation passed as smoothly as mine, but my delight soon turned to abject shame. My credit card was a fairly pathetic, status-free dark blue, whereas hers was a 11. 有一件事我得坦白。
几年前,我排队为家人取戏票时,我的朋友也在为她的家人取票。
我拿到了票,用信用卡付了账,对这种非现金交易的便利感到很满意。
然后就轮到她付款了,整个交易也进行得同样顺利,但我的高兴劲儿很快就变成了莫大的羞耻:我的信用卡太寒酸了,是不显示身份地位的深蓝色卡,而她的信用卡则是高级的金卡。
very exclusive gold one.2 How did she do this? How could this be? I knew I earned more than her, my car was newer, and my house was smarter. How did she get to appear more flash than me?3 Now, I had a job which was as steady as any job was in those days –that’s to say, not very, but you know, no complaints. I had a mortgage on my house, but then who didn’t? I paid off all my credit debt at the end of the month, so although technically, I was in debt to the credit card company, it was only for a matter of a few weeks. So I assumed I had a good credit rating.2她是怎样弄到金卡的?怎么会这样呢?我知道我挣得比她多,我的车比她的车新,我的家比她的家漂亮,她怎么看起来显得比我光鲜呢?3我有一份跟那时候任何工作相比还算安定的工作——虽然不是非常安定,不过我也没什么可抱怨的。

D.At least £102.BHow does a brilliant teacher get that way? The question of how they developed has as manyanswers as there are inspired instructors. One example is an original and charming woman who has become one of the best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.Jackson was born in Altoona. Her father was a construction worker. When she was in the eighth grade, her father died. Her principal, Mrs. Brown, said not to worry about schoolwork for a while. That upset her. Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best. He always said, “Don't let your first failure be the reason for your next.”Jackson was an accomplished shooting guard in basketball and a star sprinter on the track team, running the quartermile in 57 seconds. She thought she might become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of lowincome children. Jackson liked the idea of giving back, as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.She is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids. She couldn't motivate children until she knew what was bothering or pleasing them. “Students learn from people who love them,” she said. “They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care about them.” In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work. At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes, pencils or other small prizes.She helped create afterschool clubs. A tall student said to her, “I'm a baller. I heard you play ball.” There was a basketball league in Paterson, but the school didn't have a team. Jackson started one with support from local business executives. The student, Essence Carson, went to Rutgers University, was a firstround draft (运动员选拔制) selection for the WNBA's New York Liberty and now plays for the Connecticut Sun.4.Why did Mrs. Brown's words upset Jackson?A.Her father just passed away. B.She was taught to do her best.C.Her first failure led to another one. D.She was concerned about her grades.5.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.The way Jackson turned teacher. B.The dream job Jackson desired.C.The student loans Jackson owed. D.The athletics Jackson did well in.6.why did Jackson give small prizes to her students in class?A.To connect with them. B.To please or bother them.C.To encourage them to learn. D.To show her love to them.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Jackson founded a school team in Paterson alone.B.Jackson played in the basketball league in Paterson.C.Jackson selected Essence to play for WNBA's New York Liberty.D.Jackson should take some credit for Essence's professional career.CRussell Warne has spent many hours examining college psychology textbooks. As a professor of psychology at Utah Valley University, he wasn't looking for insight, but for mistakes—and he found plenty. Some of the worst concerned IQ tests.“The most common inaccuracy I found, by far, was the claim that intelligence tests are biased__against certain groups,”he says. Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests are fair and not culturally biased.“Another very common one was the idea that intelligence is difficult to measure.”No wonder IQ tests often cause disagreements. But that simply isn't the case.“Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the most reliable tests ever invented,” says Rex Jungat the University of New Mexico. Nevertheless, you shouldn't trust the kind of 10minute test that might pop up in your social media feed.A comprehensive IQ test takes over an hour and is ideally administered by a professional examiner. It is designed to assess precisely those cognitive (认知的) skills that constitute intelligence, so it consists of a series of subtests that cover reasoning, mental processing speed, spatial (空间的) ability and more. Shorter IQ tests, assessing fewer of these skills, can still provide a general indication of someone's mental abilities, however, because of the nature of intelligence, it means that someone who scores highly on one type of cognitive test will also do comparatively well on others.However, particular applications of IQ tests have faced a thorough inspection. A common criticism of using them to select job applicants is that they only measure certain cognitive skills. They don't scientifically measure creativity, for instance. Neither do they measure personality, which tends to make for reliable and hardworking employees—or ability to get on with other people. However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too and a practical exercise to assess jobrelated skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.8.What does the underlined words “biased against” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Unfamiliar to. B.Irrelevant to.C.Unfavorable for. D.Irresponsible for.9.What does Rex Jung think of the intelligence tests?A.They are inaccurate. B.They are trustworthy.C.They are properly used. D.They are precisely designed.10.What can we infer about IQ tests in the last paragraph?A.They are rarely accepted. B.They are heavily criticized.C.They may still be employed. D.They can motivate creativity.11.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Do IQ tests really work? B.Applications of IQ tests.C.Misinformation in textbooks. D.Can IQ tests shape personality?DScientists say they've developed a system using machine for learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. The research was led by engineers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland.European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. In the United States and other places, groundbased sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen. But, no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method. He said,“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,”Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod Project.12.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning?A.To collect relative data.B.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.C.To create a scientific system.D.To do research in relation to machine learning.13.The four mentioned surface conditions include all of the following EXCEPT ________.A.air pollution B.wind speedC.relative humidity D.air temperature14.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Lightning. B.The system being tested.C.The atmospheric data. D.The machine learning algorithm.15.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage?A.He developed the method and the system by himself.B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

小编给你一个美联英语官方免费试听课申请链接:/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0美联英语提供:英语短新闻中国真正的信用风险在影子金融The downgrading of the world’s second-largest economy’s sovereign debt rating should rank as an important event. But financial markets greeted China’s downgrade last week by Moody’s, the credit rating agency, with their version of a nonchalant shrug. Chinese domestic bond prices remained steady and Hong Kong’s main stock index actually rose during the week.世界第二大经济体主权债务评级被调降应该算作一起重大事件,但上周评级机构穆迪(Moody's)调降中国信用评级后,金融市场却若无其事。
中国国内债券价格保持稳定,香港主要股指上周竟然还上涨了。
But the non-event should not lull observers into complacency. China not only has one of the most highly leveraged corporate sectors in the world —with company debts equivalent to about 170 per cent of gross domestic product —it is also engaged in risky manoeuvres to cut an overgrown shadow finance sector down to size.但是,这起未引发巨大反响的事件不应让观察人士产生自满情绪。

关于虚假困境的报告英语作文
关于虚假困境的报告英语作文English Response:False Dilemma: A Common Pitfall.False dilemma, also known as false dichotomy, is a fallacy that presents only two options or alternatives when there are actually more available. This deceptive tactic is often used in arguments to manipulate opinions or simplify complex issues. Let's delve deeper into this phenomenon.One prevalent example of a false dilemma is the notion that you're either with us or against us. This oversimplification ignores the possibility of nuanced perspectives or alternative solutions. Take, for instance, the debate on climate change. Some may argue that youeither support strict environmental regulations or you're against saving the planet. However, this dichotomy fails to consider other approaches, such as technological innovations or community-driven initiatives.Another common scenario where false dilemmas arise isin politics. Politicians often frame issues in binary terms to rally support or discredit opponents. For instance, during elections, candidates might portray themselves as the only viable option, creating a false sense of urgency and excluding alternative candidates with potentiallybetter solutions.In personal relationships, false dilemmas can also cause misunderstandings and conflicts. Consider a situation where a friend asks you to choose between spending time with them or attending a family gathering. This presents a false dilemma, as there could be ways to compromise or find a balance between both commitments.Recognizing false dilemmas is crucial for critical thinking and decision-making. By questioning oversimplified narratives and exploring alternative options, we can avoid falling into this cognitive trap. It's essential to encourage open-mindedness and embrace complexity rather than succumbing to black-and-white thinking.中文回答:虚假困境,常见的陷阱。
信用债违约风险 英语
信用债违约风险英语Credit Default RiskCredit default risk refers to the possibility that a borrower will fail to fulfill their contractual obligation to repay a loan or fulfill their debt obligations. This risk is particularly relevant in the context of credit bonds, also known as "credit debt," where the issuer of the bond may default on interest or principal payments to investors.There are various factors that can contribute to credit default risk, including the financial health of the borrower, the prevailing economic conditions, and any specific circumstances that may impact the borrower's ability to repay their debt. For example, a deteriorating economy or a company experiencing financial difficulties may increase the likelihood of default.Credit default risk is typically evaluated and measured by credit rating agencies, such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's, who assign ratings to borrowers or bond issuers based on their assessment of the risk of default. These ratings can range from AAA (indicating the lowest risk of default) to D (indicating a default has already occurred).Investors and lenders must carefully consider credit default risk when evaluating potential investments or extending credit to borrowers. They may require higher interest rates or collateral to compensate for the increased risk, or they may choose to avoid lending altogether to high-risk borrowers.In recent years, credit default risk has received significant attentiondue to high-profile cases of corporate and sovereign defaults. These events have highlighted the potential repercussions and contagion effects that can occur when borrowers default on their debt obligations.。

As a crucial part of the financial system, credit reporting plays an essential role in assessing the creditworthiness of individuals and businesses. A credit report is a record of an individual's or company's credit history, including credit accounts, payment history, and outstanding debts. Credit reporting agencies collect and maintain this information, which is used by lenders, insurers, employers, and other organizations to make decisions about credit, insurance, employment, and other matters.The credit reporting system has significant benefits for both lenders and borrowers. For lenders, it provides a reliable source of information about the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, enabling them to make informed lending decisions and reduce the risk of default. For borrowers, it helps them establish and maintain a goodcredit history, which can lead to lower interest rates and better loan terms.However, the credit reporting system is not without its challenges and criticisms. One of the main concerns is the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in credit reports. Errors in credit reports can have serious consequences for consumers, including being denied credit or paying higher interest rates. To address this issue, laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) require credit reporting agencies to investigate and correct errors in credit reports.Another issue is the potential for identity theft and fraud. Criminals can steal personal information and use it to open fraudulent credit accounts, damaging the credit history of their victims. To combat this, credit reporting agencies have implemented security measures such asidentity verification and fraud alerts.In recent years, there has been growing interest in alternative credit scoring models, which use non-traditional data sources such as utility bills, rent payments, and social media activity to assess creditworthiness. These models may be particularly usefulfor individuals with limited credit histories or those who have been excluded from traditional credit markets.In conclusion, the credit reporting system is an essential component of the financial system, providing lenders and borrowers with valuable information about creditworthiness. While there are challenges and criticisms, efforts are being made to improve the accuracy and security of credit reports and explore alternative credit scoring models.。

英语作文-城投债风险暴露引发金融资产管理公司关注
英语作文-城投债风险暴露引发金融资产管理公司关注The exposure of risks associated with municipal bonds has drawn significant attention from financial asset management companies in recent times. Municipal bonds, often considered safe investments due to their backing by local governments, have recently shown signs of vulnerability in certain sectors, particularly in the realm of infrastructure development.One of the key areas of concern revolves around municipal bonds issued to finance urban infrastructure projects, commonly known as municipal infrastructure bonds or city investment bonds. These bonds are typically issued by local governments or related entities to raise funds for large-scale projects such as transportation networks, public utilities, and urban renewal initiatives. The allure for investors lies in the perceived safety of these bonds, backed by the revenue streams generated from the infrastructure projects themselves.However, the landscape of municipal bonds is not devoid of risks. One of the primary risks associated with city investment bonds is the potential for defaults or delays in repayment. Unlike sovereign bonds issued by national governments, municipal bonds are only as strong as the financial health of the issuing municipality. Economic downturns, mismanagement of funds, or unforeseen project complications can all contribute to a municipality's inability to meet its debt obligations.Recent cases have highlighted these risks. In several cities, ambitious infrastructure projects funded through municipal bonds have faced cost overruns and delays, putting strain on local budgets and testing the creditworthiness of the issuing municipalities. This has led to credit rating downgrades and increased scrutiny from investors and financial institutions alike.Moreover, the nature of municipal bonds complicates risk assessment. Unlike corporate bonds, which are subject to stringent financial disclosures and regulatoryoversight, municipal bonds can vary significantly in terms of transparency and reporting standards across jurisdictions. This lack of uniformity makes it challenging for investors to accurately gauge the true financial health and risk profile of municipal bond issuers.Another emerging concern is the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on municipal bond investments. As global awareness of sustainability issues grows, investors are increasingly scrutinizing the environmental impact and long-term sustainability of infrastructure projects financed through municipal bonds. Projects that fail to meet evolving ESG standards may face heightened regulatory risks and reputational damage, further complicating the investment landscape for municipal bonds.In response to these challenges, financial asset management companies are adopting more rigorous due diligence processes and risk management strategies. This includes enhanced credit analysis, stress testing of municipal bond portfolios, and closer monitoring of macroeconomic trends and regulatory developments that could affect municipal bond markets.Furthermore, technological advancements in data analytics and artificial intelligence are playing an increasingly important role in assessing and managing risks associated with municipal bonds. These tools enable asset managers to identify early warning signals of potential credit deterioration or default risk, allowing for more proactive risk mitigation strategies.In conclusion, while municipal bonds continue to offer attractive investment opportunities for their relatively stable returns and tax advantages, the risks associated with these investments should not be underestimated. The evolving landscape of urban infrastructure development, coupled with economic uncertainties and regulatory changes, underscores the importance of diligent risk assessment and robust investment strategies in navigating the complexities of municipal bond markets. By staying informed and proactive, financial asset management companies can effectively manage these risks and capitalize on opportunities in the dynamic municipal bond market landscape.。
