In this session, Moody’s analysts will present the approach to the new ESG scores for International Regional and Local Governments including an overview of Issuer Profile Scores and Credit Impact Scores.

  • Overview of IPS and CIS
  • How ESG considerations affect International RLGs’ ratings
  • ESG factors have neutral to low credit impact on RLGs in advanced economies, and are negative for emerging markets
  • Physical climate risk is the main source of exposure to environmental risk in both advanced and emerging countries
  • Demographics, labour and income are the biggest challenges from a social perspective
  • Governance poses limited risk or is a strength for most rated RLGs
