Kredi Derecelendirme Kuruluşları Üzerine Düşünceler

Year 2014, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 96 - 113, 30.01.2015

Abstract

Ülkeler farklı finansman yollarına başvurarak kaynak sağlayabilmelerine rağmen giderek artan bir şekilde hazine tahvili ile uluslararsı borçlanmayı tercih etmektedirler. Bu durumda kredi kuruluşlarının vereceği kredi notu ülkelerin borçlanma maliyetinin de belirleyicisi olduğundan, bu kuruluşların önemi özellikle neo-liberal politikaların hakim olduğu 1970’li yılların sonundan itibaren artmaktadır. Kredi Derecelendirme Kuruluşlarının neo-liberal politikaların uygulanmasına hizmet etmesi veya bu anlamda var olmaları 1970 sonrasında başlamış ancak bu yapı 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren bu kuruluşların güvenilirliklerinin sorgulanması ile yeni bir dönüşüm daha geçirmiştir. Bu çalışmada neo-liberal süreçte kredi derecelendirme kuruluşlarının etkiler, güvenilirlikleri, tutarlılıkları tartışılmaktadır.
