We must give praise where praise is due and acknowledge that credit rating agencies have achieved virtually the impossible: they have managed to play a decisive role both in the very early stages of the 2008 financial crisis, during the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and now at this second stage, which began with the debt crisis in Greece.
Me peame jagama kiitust, kui selleks on põhjust, ja tunnistama, et reitinguagentuurid on saavutanud peaaegu võimatu: nad on suutnud täita otsustavat rolli nii 2008. aasta finantskriisi varajastel etappidel, Lehman Brothersi kokkukukkumisel kui ka praegusel teisel etapil, mis algas Kreeka võlakriisiga.
