Please join leading S&P Global Ratings analysts from the Corporate Ratings team for a live interactive webinar on Tuesday, August 9. They will provide their views on the credit quality of Japanese corporations we rate assuming stress conditions. 

Key discussion points include:

• Our stress tests show that a potential interest rate hike and/or a recession would pressure the creditworthiness of a minority of Japanese corporations we rate
• Any pressure would be concentrated in certain industries, such as railways and electric utilities
• A declining Japanese yen (JPY) is not likely to have much of an impact, except in some domestic demand-driven industries
• In the real world, corporations would take specific counter measures to protect against the pressures presented in our stress tests

Speakers:
Makiko Yoshimura, Director, Corporate Ratings
Katsuyuki Nakai, Director, Corporate Ratings
Hiroyuki Nishikawa, Director, Corporate Ratings

Moderator:
Hiroki Shibata, Senior Director & Analytical Manager, Corporate Ratings
