December 30, 2003 (Press Release) --
Standard & Poor's, the leading provider of independent research, ratings and indices, today unveiled its redesigned CreditWeek(R), the leading weekly print resource for credit ratings, commentary and analyses, and introduced an online version that complements the new streamlined magazine.
"Since it was launched in 1981, Standard & Poor's CreditWeek has become synonymous with independent insight and commentary on global credit markets," said Marguerite Nugent, CreditWeek's managing editor. "Today's revised, streamlined print edition and our new online version will still provide the investment community with the keen insight and commentary they expect, but is repackaged to be more user friendly and accessible."
To mark the occasion, subscribers and members of the media were invited to a reception at which a panel of Standard & Poor's senior credit analysts discussed current credit trends. The panel included Diane Vazza, head of Standard & Poor's Global Fixed Income Research; John Bilardello, head of Global Industrial Ratings; Martin Arrick, senior credit analyst covering the health care sector; Tom Gillis, a managing director in structured finance ratings; and Chuck Rauch, a senior credit analyst for financial services and banking.
Ms. Vazza speaking on general trends notes that, "global credit quality maintained an encouraging trend in the third quarter of 2003 and we expect this trend to continue into 2004, with downgrades outpacing upgrades by the smallest margin since the first quarter of 2000."
