Posted on 11 Aug 2011 A decision by credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's to downgrade the credit ratings of five U.S.-based insurance companies should not be interpreted as a sign that their financial strength has weakened, said California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. S&P reduced the ratings from AAA to AA+ because the insurers have substantial holdings in U.S. ? Treasury notes, which were downgraded Friday from AAA to AA+, Jones said in a statement released by his office Wednesday. "The reason for S&P's downgrade of some insurers is its policy that no insurer with significant investments in U.S. securities may have a rating higher than the rating of those securities," he said. According to Standard & Poor's, the five insurance groups are Knights of Columbus, New York Life, Northwestern Mutual, Teachers Insurance & Annuity Assn. of America (TIAA) and United Services Automobile Assn. Both Jones and insurance regulators in other states stressed that the downgrades do not reflect the insurers' financial health or their ability to pay claims. "S&P's downgrade to AA+ has no impact on insurers' claims paying abilities," Jones said. He said his department "will continue to exercise strong financial oversight and carefully monitor the financial condition of the insurers." S&P noted that the companies have "very strong financial profiles and favorable business profiles" and "maintain very strong capital and liquidity."

Agencija za financijsko ocjenjivanje Standard & Poor's odlučila je ocjenu dugoročne zaduženosti Francuske sniziti za jedan stupanj, s AAA na AA+, rekla su u petak za novinsku agenciju France Presse dva europska izvora 'Standard & Poor's je snizio ocjenu za jedan stupanj', kazao je jedan od tih izvora, premda je agencija u prosincu bila zaprijetila da će ocjenu sniziti za dva stupnja. U S&P-u još nisu objavili nikakvu službenu informaciju o sniženju rejtinga. Rejtinška agencija je odlučila zadržati dugoročnu ocjenu Finske na najvišoj razini, pa ta zemlja ostaje među rijetkim zemljama eurozone s najvišom ocjenom AAA, izjavio je u petak dobro obaviješten izvor u europskoj vladi za AFP. 'Finska zadržava svoj trostruki A, kao i Njemačka, Nizozemska i Luksemburg, a Francuska ga, naprotiv, gubi', kazao je. No 'velika nesigurnost vlada' u vezi s Austrijom, posljednjom zemljom eurozone koja još ima ocjenu AAA, dodao je. Rejtinška agencija je obavijestila vlade o svojoj odluci, rekao je vladin izvor za francusku agenciju. - Sviđa vam se članak? Preporučite ga prijateljima putem ovih servisa: Pošaljite mailom
