California And Greece Credit Quality Continues To Diverge, Report Says |
Standard & Poor's - June 1, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO June 1, 2011--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services believes that the fundamentals underlying the credit quality of California and Greece are diverging, according to a report updating a comparison of the situation originally published May 3, 2011, on RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal. The update, "California And Greece: The Credit Divide Widens", points out that, given the factors underlying the downgrade of the Hellenic Republic (Greece), the California credit situation is now even less alike that of the sovereign.
"While both may have some trouble accessing markets for some of their respective debts, not all uncertainty about market access is equal," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gabriel Petek. "In contrast to Greece, we believe that if California has a market access problem, it is likely to be a transient situation that does not immediately threaten its ability to service its existing debts," added Mr. Petek.
Greece may need to restructure its debt, which would be an event of default under our criteria. California has plans to go to the market with revenue anticipation notes but must have its budget in place in order to do so.
