[转贴] China’s Dagong Reduces U.S. Credit Rating to A+, Xinhua Says

By Joshua Fellman

Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- China’s Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. cut its credit rating for the U.S. to A+ from AA because of a Federal Reserve plan to purchase bonds to spur growth and inflation, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The credit outlook for the U.S. is negative amid deteriorating debt repayment capability and a “drastic” drop in the government’s intention to repay debt, Dagong said, as cited by the state-controlled news agency. The Fed’s quantitative easing policy will erode the value of the dollar and is against the interests of creditors, the company said.

“Serious defects in the U.S. economy will lead to long- term recession and fundamentally lower national solvency,” Dagong said, as cited by Xinhua.

Dagong, seeking to become an alternative to Standard & Poor’s Corp., Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, ranks China’s debt higher than that of the U.S. and Japan, citing widening deficits in the developed world. Global ratings methodology is “irrational,” Dagong Chairman Guan Jianzhong said in July, and “cannot truly reflect repayment ability.”

The credit rating company’s remarks follow those of Chinese government officials, who have expressed concern that quantitative easing will hurt the country’s economy.

“Many countries are worried about the impact of the policy on their economies,” Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said at a press briefing in Beijing Nov. 5. “It would be appropriate for someone to step forward and give us an explanation, otherwise international confidence in the recovery and growth of the global economy might be hurt.”

Chinese central bank adviser Xia Bin said Nov. 4 that the Fed’s $600 billion on planned bond purchases is “uncontrolled” money printing, and Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said yesterday that the program could “shock” emerging markets by flooding them with capital.
大公国际下调美国信用等级至A+负面

    新华网北京11月9日电(记者 安蓓 李延霞) 中国私营信用评级机构——大公国际资信评估有限公司9日发布美国跟踪评级报告,将其本、外币国家信用等级由AA调降至A+,展望均为负面。大公国际认为,美国推出新一轮量化宽松货币政策,表明其实际偿债能力恶化和政府偿债意愿急剧下降。

    这是大公国际自今年7月11日发布50个国家的信用等级后,首次启动其独有的违约评级标准——币值稳定性分析,针对有意识地贬值本国货币转嫁危机的国家进行跟踪评级。

    大公国际称,此次下调美国信用等级的依据为:美国政府没有从战略全局上反思国家经济发展和管理模式问题,很难从根本上改变经济发展的被动局面;由美国经济发展模式所决定,信用危机远没有结束,美国经济将步入一个长期衰退期;经济持续低迷导致金融体系风险上升,美元贬值趋势将使金融体系吸引美元资本回流的价值转移能力受到削弱;新一轮的流动性注入无助于从根本上遏制联邦政府财政赤字和债务负担在长期内的扩大和增长趋势;美国政府采取美元贬值的实质是其实际债务偿付能力已经到了崩溃的边缘,因而从国家意愿上通过贬值行为减少债务,此举严重损害了债权人利益,世界将因此迎来一个利益格局急剧调整的时期。
