SEBI proposes rules for rating agencies on actions amid defaults, upgrades- Daily Market update-26 July 2024

The markets regulator has proposed guidelines for credit rating agencies to provide detailed reasons for their actions, particularly in cases of default and upgrades of default ratings. The Securities and Exchange Board of India, in a consultation paper on Thursday, suggested removing "technical default" from policies as it can send negative market signals and trigger covenants. Rating agencies have highlighted operational issues such as force majeure events or bank strikes that they believe should be taken into account in their policies. The proposed guidelines aim to address situations such as force majeure events, incorrect investor accounts or government freezes, as well as significant changes in a company's credit risk profile.
