The main focus of this research is on the question, whether indeed a comprehensive regulation is indicated, or alternatively, whether the power of the markets is able to cope efficiently and sufficiently with the inherent issues of providing credit ratings; in other words, this paper deals with the clash of regulation v self-regulation.pdfen-NZCredit ratingsPublic lawText
