標普揮刀向亞太：亞洲，你是下一個 - solarism

繼上週黑色星期五之後大砍歐洲九國主權債信評級後，標準普爾信貸風險總監伊恩湯普森（ S&P's Chief Credit Officer Ian Thompson ）在華爾街周報對亞太地區國家擴張的赤字與償債能力表示警告，並表示不排除將對亞太地區主權評級的風險進行調整。

Ian Thompson表示：這（亞太區）將是一個更具挑戰性的經營環境，這是明顯的全球性的風險有所增加。

Ian Thompson並暗示：因為歐債導致的進口需求減少與信貸緊縮，中國經濟將有可能會“硬著陸”（a hard landing）

Days after unleashing a wave of downgrades across Europe, S&P is now warning that the ratings of Asia-Pacific sovereigns are increasingly at risk.

This is according to a Dow Jones interview of S&P's Chief Credit Officer Ian Thompson (via Wall Street Journal).

"It's clear global risks have increased and it's going to be a more challenging operating environment, even for the Asia-Pacific region," said Ian Thompson, senior managing director and chief credit officer at S&P, in an interview Monday. "A dislocation in global funding markets also has the potential to damage credit in Asia-Pacific."

The primary concerns for Asia are slowing export demand from Europe and a tightening of lending markets should Europe's debt woes continue to worsen.

On the bright side, Thompson noted that China should avoid a hard landing.
