This month's report:
The markets do not need another such September. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Inc. (along
with its German affiliate), and the failure of Washington Mutual Bank (WaMu) and its holding
company, added a whopping $173 billion in bad debt to this year’s totals. Sadly, they were not the
month’s only defaults. But those four companies, by far, are the most spectacular flameouts to date
from the turmoil triggered by the collapse of the U.S. housing market. Moreover, the repercussions
from these massive failures were widespread. In the ensuing weeks, credit markets froze up and
stock markets around the world took a dive. The federal government’s subsequent $250 billion
plan to help recapitalize U.S. banks by buying equity stakes in many of them may or may not prevent
similar recurrences. Details have yet to be finalized, but for WaMu and Lehman, it is too late.
In this webinar, Katarina Antens-Miller, director in Standard & Poor’s Risk Solutions, demonstrated the new features and functionalities of the enhanced CreditPro® ratings migration, default and recovery platform.
