A global study covering more than 22,000 public non-financial companies with total liabilities of €15,500 billion aims to provide some answers. To find out the potential capital requirements under IRB in different continents a common measure of borrower default risk needs to be applied. In this study, San Francisco-based Moody’s KMV’s (MKMV) expected default frequencies (EDF measures) were used, since these probability of default (PD) estimates are consistently assigned for almost all public companies world-wide.11For more information on MKMV’s EDF credit measures, see Crosbie and Bohn 2002. In addition to EDF values and Standard and Poor’s (S&P) ratings,22S&P Senior Implied Debt Ratings are embedded in MKMV’s public corporate database.
