| Jaimini Bhagwati: More standard ratings, less moody ones | 20-NOV-09 |
|
| Standard and Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s continue to dominate the credit rating industry in terms of global reach and acceptance. Effectively, S&P and Moody’s are a duopoly at an international level even though there are many regional and country-specific credit rating agencies (CRAs). Further, Moody’s is the only publicly-held company among the larger CRAs and its high profit margins seem to indicate monopoly pricing power. |

| Yahoo! in late September launched a global brand campaign — it broke in India early October — with a budget of over $100 million.
