Disappointment about the raters performance, and skepticism about the effectiveness of regulation, has led to calls to eliminate any regulatory reliance on ratings.

There is thus no substitute for providing raters with incentives to provide as accurate a rating as they can.

Parties also mentioned that they would select approaches based on a holistic evaluation of the options, taking into account life cycle assessments and the impact of implementing these options.

The evaluation could not make firm estimates of UNDP resource allocation to gender, because much information is missing, incomplete or inconsistent.

In many cases, the importance of ratings comes partly from legal requirements that oblige or encourage institutional investors and investment vehicles to maintain portfolios of assets that have received sufficiently high grades from the recognized agencies.
