Moody's Investors Service plans to roll out a new way of analysing banks from September, to make the way it accounts for potential state support in a crisis more transparent, the rating agency's co-head of European banking said on April 06. Moody's wants to ensure its ratings formally capture how willing and able a state is to help a troubled bank, as well as the lender's stand-alone financial strength. Last June, the ratings agency upgraded dozens of big European telecoms, utilities and defence firms after reviewing their links to government. "The reason why we do this is because the market has always told use we are too opaque in the way we do things ... the real objective of doing this is to create transparency," said Antonio Carballo, team managing director, banking EMEA at Moody's.
