Lucent Credit Ratings Cut to Near Junk
Feb 12 2001 03:02 PM PST

 PROFILE
Governments can have lousy credit too. Fitch, one of the top three credit rating agencies in the world with Standard & Poor's and Moody's, issues ratings for banks, financial institutions, corporations, and governments. Operating through about 40 offices worldwide, the company engages in the politically charged business of rating the debt of nations and was the only one of the big three to admit mistakes in miscalculating the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s. French parent Fimalac bought Fitch in 1997 and merged it with IBCA, Europe's largest rating agency; the company later bought #4 credit agency Duff & Phelps and BANKWATCH, which delivers credit ratings to banks.
