Piyush Goyal launches CareEdge Global’s sovereign ratings report in London
New Delhi, June 26 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday launched the third edition of credit rating agency CareEdge Global’s flagship report, “Sovereign Ratings: A Fresh Perspective” at an event in London.
Speaking at the launch, Goyal said, “Such research-driven publications play an important role in enhancing understanding of sovereign risk dynamics and the evolving global economic landscape. It is important to have a dialogue on the sovereign risk assessment framework of rating agencies.”
The latest edition of the report presents a detailed analysis of 45 sovereign economies, collectively accounting for approximately 85 per cent of global GDP. Built on a rigorous five-pillar analytical framework, covering economic structure, fiscal strength, external position, monetary stability, and governance, the report offers a forward-looking, data-driven assessment of sovereign credit risk across both developed and emerging markets.
The report provides insights into global macroeconomic trends, fiscal dynamics, institutional strength, and external resilience, helping stakeholders navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain global economic landscape.
“The third edition of the Sovereign Ratings reflects CareEdge Global’s commitment to a rigorous, transparent, and forward-looking approach to sovereign risk assessment. By emphasising key growth enablers such as capital investment, infrastructure development, and the strength of domestic funding ecosystems, we aim to provide a nuanced and accurate assessment of sovereign risk. While our framework maintains global standards, it is also designed to capture the distinct opportunities and challenges that shape the economic trajectories of emerging markets,” said Mehul Pandya, Managing Director and Group CEO, CareEdge, at the event.
Revati Kasture, CEO, CareEdge Global, said, “The 2026 edition reflects CareEdge Global’s rapid evolution as a credible global ratings player, combining analytical independence, methodological transparency, and emerging-market insight. The report highlights key global themes, including fiscal consolidation challenges, external vulnerabilities, structural reforms, and growth resilience across economies.”
The London launch highlights the firm’s ambitions to deepen engagement with global investors and policymakers, particularly in financial centres such as the UK, Kasture added.
