European rating
agency to rival S&P, Moody's in 2012 - report
(Reuters) - Plans to launch a European ratings agency
to compete with S&P, Moody's and Fitch are at an advanced stage and a new
private institution could start business as soon as the first half of this
year, German businessman Roland Berger told an Italian newspaper.
The founder of consultancy Roland Berger said he hoped
a new private, non-profit organisation, in the form of a foundation, could be
ready in "the first half or the first nine months of the year,"
according to Saturday's Corriere della Sera.
Berger, who has been lobbying European governments and
companies to gather support and financing for a new agency, hopes to have
raised the 300 million euros of capital needed from European investors by that
time, the paper said.
"The proposed model is of an agency where the
service is paid by the clients, who have an interest in having reliable and
objective results," Berger said.
No-one at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants was
immediately available for comment.
European policymakers have criticised agencies
Standard & Poor's (MHP.N), Moody's (MCO.N) and Fitch (LBCP.PA) during the euro zone debt crisis, saying they have been too quick to
downgrade the credit ratings of indebted EU states despite bailouts and
austerity programmes.
Earlier this month, S&P downgraded downgraded the
credit ratings of nine euro-zone countries, stripping France and Austria of their coveted triple-A status but not EU paymaster
Germany.
Berger's plan for the new agency, which would be
incorporated in the Netherlands, has received signals of support from the
European Commission and governments in Europe but also in Chinaand among some Arab states, the paper
said.
