somebody clear my doubt plz...

The most widely used monetary tool to curb inflation by RBI is repo rate. But while keeping inflation in mind, RBI uses the concept of core inflation ie, WPI-(food inflation+fuel inflation). But in an economy like ours, food and fuel inflation is a major contributor of the overall inflation. This is one of the reasons why RBI hasn't been able to put a check on the rising food and fuel prices. Then sudn't RBI use CPI as a measure for inflation rather than WPI because the perception of inflation is more accurately understood from the final consumers who in turn reflect a measure of their inflation thru CPI??

Creating a whatsapp group for phase 2 prep. All those who are serious , Plz whatsapp me at 9711545068


Hi All,

Just i would like to post a answer for a question which was asked in 2010 phase 2 exam. I also request you to give feedback whether the style of writing can be improved further.

What is credit rating? Discuss its benefits and limitations?

A credit rating is an evaluation of the credit worthiness of a debtor, especially a business (company) or a government, but not individual consumers. The evaluation is made by a credit rating agency of the debtor's ability to pay back the debt and the likelihood of default. Evaluations of individuals' credit worthiness are known as credit reporting and done by credit bureaus, or consumer credit reporting agencies, which issue credit scores.

Credit ratings are determined by credit ratings agencies. The credit rating represents the credit rating agency's evaluation of qualitative and quantitative information for a company or government; including non-public information obtained by the credit rating agencies' analysts.

A poor credit rating indicates a credit rating agency's opinion that the company or government has a high risk of defaulting, based on the agency's analysis of the entity's history and analysis of long term economic prospects.

Benefits:

Credit ratings are an important tool for borrowers to gain access to loans and debt. Good credit ratings allow borrowers to easily borrow money from financial institutions or public debt markets.

At the corporate level, it is usually in the best interest of a company to look for a credit rating agency to rate their debt. Investors often times base part of their decision to buy bonds, or even the stock, on the credit rating of the company's debt.

Major credit agencies, such as Moody's or Standard and Poor's, perform this rating service for a fee. Usually, investors will look at the credit rating given by these international credit rating agencies as well as ratings given by domestic rating agencies before deciding to invest.

Credit ratings are also important at the country level. Many countries rely on foreign investors to purchase their debt, and these investors rely heavily on the credit ratings given by the credit rating agencies.

The benefits for a country of a good credit rating include being able to access funds from outside their country, and the possession of a good rating can attract other forms of investment to a country, such as foreign direct investment

Limitations:

(1) Biased rating and misrepresentations:

In the absence of quality rating, credit rating is a curse for the capital market industry, carrying out detailed analysis of the company, should have no links with the company or the persons interested in the company so that the reports impartial and judicious recommendations for rating committee.

The companies having lower grade rating do not advertise or use the rating while raising funds from the public. In such cases the investor cannot get information about the riskness of instrument and hence is at loss.

(2) Static study:

Rating is done on the present and the past historic data of the company and this is only a static study. Prediction of the company's health through rating is momentary and anything can happen after assignment of rating symbols to the company.

Dependence for future results on the rating, therefore defeats the very purpose of risk indicativeness of rating. Many changes take place in economic environment, political situation, government policy framework which directly affects the working of a company.

(3) Concealment of material information:

Rating Company might conceal material information from the investigating team of the credit rating company. In such cases quality of rating suffers and renders the rating unreliable.

(4) Rating is no guarantee for soundness of company:

Rating is done for a particular instrument to assess the credit risk but it should not be construed as a certificate for the matching quality of the company or its management. Independent views should be formed by the user public in general of the rating symbol.

 (5) Difference in rating of two agencies:

Rating done by the two different credit rating agencies for the same instrument of the same issuer company in many cases would not be identical.

Answers is little exhaustive and can be shrinked further.
