Resumo: | The international financial crises of the 1990’s raised doubts about the validity of sovereign ratings. This article has two goals. First, it aims to identify which fundamentals explain sovereign ratings for Brazil, from December 1994 to December 2002, using an ordered logit model. Second, investigate the impact of the fundamentals and ratings on sovereign debt spreads. In the first case, the results suggest that Foreign Debt as share of exports, Public Sector debt and deficit measures and Current account balance, all as share of GNP, are relevant to explain the ratings. In the second case, the relevant variables were the inflation rate and, again, Public Sector debt and deficit measures and Current account balance. One can conclude that public finances are an important determinant of sovereign ratings. Finally, hand, it is important to note that, once fundamentals are included, the rating itself does not significantly explain spread variations. |

O presente trabalho tem dois objetivos. O primeiro identifica quais fundamentos explicam os ratings soberanos brasileiros, de dezembro de 1994 a dezembro de 2002, usando o modelo ordered logit. O segundo investiga o impacto dos fundamentos e ratings nos spreads de dívida soberana. No primeiro caso, os resultados sugerem que a Dívida Externa sobre as Exportações, Dívida Líquida do Setor Público (em %PIB), Necessidade de Financiamento do Setor Público (em %PIB) e Transações Correntes (em %PIB) são relevantes para explicar os ratings. No segundo caso, as variáveis relevantes foram a Taxa de Inflação (IPC) e, de novo, a Dívida Líquida do Setor Público (em %PIB), Necessidade de Financiamento do Setor Público (em %PIB) e Transações Correntes (em %PIB). Em função dos resultados, pode-se afirmar que as finanças públicas são importantes na determinação dos ratings e retornos dos títulos soberanos. Finalmente, é importante destacar que quando os fundamentos são incluídos, o rating perde significância na explicação das variações do spread.UFRGS2009-08-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/970410.22456/2176-5456.9704Análise Econômica; Vol. 27 No. 51 (2009): março de 2009Análise Econômica; v. 27 n. 51 (2009): março de 20092176-54560102-9924reponame:Análise Econômica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/9704/6003Copyright (c) 2019 Análise Econômicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBone, Rosemarie Bröker2019-08-29T12:37:29Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/9704Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomicaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/oai||rae@ufrgs.br2176-54560102-9924opendoar:2019-08-29T12:37:29Análise Econômica (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |

The international financial crises of the 1990’s raised doubts about the validity of sovereign ratings. This article has two goals.

Second, investigate the impact of the fundamentals and ratings on sovereign debt spreads.
