From 16th December 2024, credit ratings by Scope on marketable securities are on-boarded by the Eurosystem, making Scope Ratings's acceptance by the ECB live. This means any eligible asset rated by Scope can be used as collateral in monetary policy operations from that go-live date.

The European Central Bank has scheduled to start using Scope’s ratings from 16 December 2024 to assess the credit quality of marketable assets for use as collateral in monetary policy operations. After the acceptance of Scope in the Eurosystem Credit Assessment Framework (ECAF) last November, and the inclusion of Scope’s asset-backed securities ratings in May 2024, the ECB has now announced on its website the final step for Scope’s integration in ECAF. From 16 December, Scope’s credit ratings for marketable securities will be operationally available in the Eurosystem. Scope is the only European rating agency whose ratings will be used for monetary policy operations by the ECB and the central banks of euro area countries., Guillaume J.

Join us for this webinar where Alvise Lennkh-Yunus, CFA, Head of Sovereign and Public Sector Ratings, will address the vital themes relating to the outcome of forthcoming US elections. Mario Draghi’s competitiveness report reinforces the narrative that Europe is falling behind. But is that gap really that large and growing? What are the long-term growth drivers of the US and how could these be affected by the elections? What does the outcome mean for the EU? Should investors be concerned?
