Bloomberg To Incorporate Credit Risk Data
Bloomberg customers will now be able to use the news site's terminal to look at Credit Benchmark's credit risk data, which comes from risk views of the world's largest financial institutions, according to a press release. Clients will also be able to use the data for an enterprise use case, the release stated. Bloomberg is providing the data in the current global economic crisis to aid the markets with ready, accessible information that is timely and transparent for active credit assessments and predictive models to assess the volatility of the current market. The release stated firms have more often been looking for data to validate their own internal counterparty and credit risk assessment. They also look to supplement the external ratings from outside companies. Firms can bolster risk management, loan and debt underwriting, portfolio optimization, supply chain risk management and investment idea generation, the release stated. They can also assess ongoing credit quality.
