KBRA Releases Macro-Market Research: Inside the G7: Political Party Landscapes & Policy Direction

NEW YORK--()--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases a macro-market commentary, “Inside the G7: Political Party Landscapes & Policy Direction.” In this piece, KBRA discusses Group of Seven member countries and the party realignment and policy shifts within them. Some G7 countries have demonstrated bold policy transformation within the construct of existing political parties (the United States (U.S.) and United Kingdom (UK)). In others, KBRA has witnessed the entrance or ascendance of new or anti-establishment political parties (France, Germany and Italy), notably on the right of the ideological spectrum, although with differing impacts on policy formulation. Such examples contrast with G7 members that have maintained both stable political party landscapes and policy direction (Canada and Japan). This piece highlights the lack of a strong connection between political party stability and policy stability. It also emphasizes situations where financial and credit risks appear to be changing that could influence KBRA’s sovereign views.
