In this episode of Moody's Talks, Associate Managing Director Gene Fang and Assistant Vice President Christian Fang, both of the Sovereign Risk Group, discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on government credit quality. While the technology has the potential to support sovereign creditworthiness over time, it could also raise political and social costs, and institutional challenges.

In this edition of Moody’s Talks, Associate Managing Director Mauro Leos and Vice President Gabriel Torres of the Sovereign Risk Group discuss the credit implications of long-standing and in some cases rising income inequality. While income inequality is not a differentiating factor of ratings across all sovereigns, for some, rising income inequality exacerbates broader credit challenges stemming from wide-ranging social tensions and political risk, weakening growth and weak or weakening institutions.

In this episode of Moody’s Talks, Mathias Kuelpmann, SVP in the Financial Institutions Group, and Heiko Peters, AVP-Analyst in the Sovereign Risk Group, discuss the credit impact of rapid population ageing in Germany. Rising pension costs and other expenses related to changing demographics will weigh on the country’s growth and be credit negative for Germany’s economic and fiscal strength in the coming decades. However, we believe Germany is well positioned to withstand those challenges, thanks to its strong current fiscal position, high and stable household savings and low private leverage. Furthermore, the demographic changes will also bring opportunities for some financial and non-financial companies as they respond to the changing needs of the population.
