  4. Seven Questions: • Did the Fed do it? • Is it all over for Anglo-Saxon capital markets? • Is it all over for the sub-prime market? • Can the ratings agencies survive? • Do we need a new approach to liquidity? • Is the UK’s Tripartite model fundamentally flawed? • Does the crisis reveal gaps in the global regulatory system?

  13. 4. Can the ratings agencies survive?

  14. Bank of England’s Suggestions for Improvement • Agencies could publish the expected loss distributions of structured products, to illustrate the tail risks around them • Agencies could provide a summary of the information provided by originators of structured products • Information on originators’ and arrangers’ retained economic interest • Agencies could produce explicit probability ranges for their scores on probability of default • Agencies could adopt the same scoring definitions • Rating agencies could score instruments on dimensions other than credit risk • E.g. market liquidity, rating stability over time or certainty with which a rating is made.
