Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services has released an analysis of its downgrades of monoline bond insurers MBIA Insurance Corp. and Ambac Assurance Corp. S&P’s report – “Who Will Feel The Downgrades Of MBIA And Ambac, And By How Much-” indicates that there will be “broad ramifications for diverse sectors of the global financial markets.”
“After taking a close look, our analysts expect the effects to vary from sector to sector, as well as within each sector. And while we expect some areas to feel the impact immediately, others will more likely have delayed effect,” explained S&P’s Chief Credit Officer Mark Adelson.
