In this Part 2 of the Creditworthiness video, we will cover the creditworthiness of Sovereign States & securities! (Explained in detail in the video) Creditworthiness for the Sovereign States A state cannot exert its financial or political risk rating to invest in its debt instruments. Sovereign states will receive a Sovereign Credit Rating, an independent evaluation. A third-party credit rating agency will give a country a rating based on how risky it is in terms of its economy and government. A country's creditworthiness will go down if it has a big budget deficit. A low credit rating means that they are not a good credit risk, which could make it hard for them to get money from the global market and other bodies. (Explained in detail in the video) Creditworthiness of Securities Securities are just financial instruments to raise funds in capital markets. There are three kinds of securities: equity, debt, and Hybrid. Securities are put through the same test that lenders use to decide whether or not to lend money to a company. The securities are also evaluated with credit ratings. The financial success and strength of a security can be judged by its credit rating. Following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, credit agencies were chastised for assigning high credit ratings to loans that ultimately proved to be high-risk investments. They failed to identify dangers that would have alerted investors to avoid certain forms of debt, such as mortgage-backed securities. (Explained in detail in the video) But now the systems are said to be proofed and the agencies have improved their processes.

But he has not returned the money of a few others! I.e his creditworthiness is in question! You might still decide emotionally but for a bank, it would be a practical decision based on his creditworthiness. (Explained in detail in the video) Creditworthiness is a measure of judging the loan repayment history of borrowers to ascertain their worth as a debtor who should be extended a future credit or not. Creditworthiness applies to people, sovereign states, securities, and other entities. (Explained in detail in the video) The three biggest credit rating agencies for securities and sovereign states are Moody’s, Standard & Poor, and Fitch. (Explained in detail in the video) Creditworthiness for Individuals: Creditworthiness for individuals is evaluated based on several factors. Typically, lenders will take a qualitative and quantitative look at the 5 C’s of Credit when evaluating a borrower: #1 – Character (Explained in detail in the video) #2 – Capacity (Explained in detail in the video) #3 – Capital (Explained in detail in the video) #4 – Conditions (Explained in detail in the video) #5 – Collateral (Explained in detail in the video) The factors for judging a company’s creditworthiness are the same, but the analysis is done concerning the business. Lenders often look for security against loans or guarantees, especially in the case of high-risk borrowers. A high-risk borrower has a greater chance of defaulting. Besides, the bank or lenders also charge higher interest rates from such a group to compensate for the greater risk. (Explained in detail in the video) This brings us to the end of the first part of this video. In part 2 we will cover the creditworthiness of Sovereign States & securities!
