On March 31, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Appeals Tribunal largely upheld the findings of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) against Moody’sInvestors Service. Moody’s has received a public reprimand and an HK$11 million (S$1.9 million) fine for various failings related to a report issued in July of 2011 that searched for “red flags” on various issues for a number of Chinese companies. We, like many others in financial markets across the region, are perplexed both with the SFC’s prosecution of Moody’s and the tribunal’s decision. While the SFC probably feels that it has scored a victory for the market integrity of Hong Kong, it has instead stunted the development of the offshore debt market for Chinese companies,misallocated its own enforcement resources and, intentionally or not, let itself be seen as responding to negative commentary on companies that issue securities in Hong Kong.
