ÜLKE KREDİ DERECELENDİRME YÖNTEMLERİ VE KREDİ TEMERRÜD SWAPLARININ KARŞILAŞTIRMALI BİR ANALİZİ

Öz

Ülkelerin kredi notlarının ölçülmesi ve değerlendirilmesi özellikle son yarım yüzyılda oldukça önem kazanmış ve bu değerlendirmeler ülkelerin makroekonomik performansları için önemli faktörler haline gelmişlerdir. Bu bağlamda, ülkelerin kredibilitelerinin ölçülmesinde başvurulabilecek metodlardan ikisi kredi derecelendirme kuruluşlarının değerlendirmeleri ve kredi temerrüd
swaplarıdır. Her ikisi de tamamen farklı methodolojilere sahip olan bu yöntemler ülkelerin kredi notlarını yansıtır. Bu çalışmada bu iki yöntemin karşılaştırmalı analizi yapılarak, benzer ve farklı yönleri ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca bu iki yöntemle elde edilen sonuçların tutarlılığı da analiz edilmiştir ve ülke kredi derecelndirme yöntemlerine ilişkin politika önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.
