These products provide crucial ratings materials and analytical support without which The Bank would be unable to make critical financial decisions in its dealings with sovereigns, and banks.

Moody's reports are used in conjunction with other rating agency reports. Other sources of ratings reports used by Ex-Im Bank include Fitch and Standard & Poor's. Moody's provides not only complementary content, but also unique coverage and analysis unavailable anywhere else. Moody's is often the only source for certain bank and sovereign ratings materials.
