Efforts in Japan
For many years, Moody's has provided a wide range of credit information to leading Japanese institutional investors.
International expansion
In the 1970s, they started activities in the rapidly expanding euro market, and rated the euro bonds issued by major companies, financial institutions and governments in each country. Recently, in response to the rapid growth of the market accompanying the currency integration and the rating demand in the market, they are aggressively expanding their operations.
For bonds issued by Japanese issuers, Moody's had been investigating and evaluating before the war. After the war, in 1974, with the elimination of the interest rate equilibrium tax of the United States, the rating of foreign bonds by Japanese issuers resumed, and after the resumption, the rating is given to the Japanese Development Bank's dollar-denominated bond issuing government guaranteed bonds .
Today, due to deregulation of the bond market and expansion of the market size accompanying it, the ratings of various bonds and programs are increasing in Japan's domestic market, and more than 300 issuers of Moody's rated Japanese It extends.
Providing information to Japanese investors
Ever since Moody's Japan Co., Ltd. was established in 1985, they strove to expand information services to Japanese investors, and now Moody's ratings and credit information are used for managing the portfolio of so many institutional investors.
