The Sevilla Commitment, adopted at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4), mandates the establishment of a recurring Special Meeting of ECOSOC on credit ratings for dialogue among Member States, credit rating agencies, regulators, standard setters, long-term investors and public institutions publishing independent debt sustainability analysis.
Panel 2: Ratings and assessments methodologies and time horizons Panel 3: Boosting the capacity of developing countries to engage with ratings and assessments Closing session The meeting will include updates on the Secretary General's efforts to engage with credit rating agencies, discussion on the use of credit assessments, exchanges on good practices for regulation of credit rating agencies and sharing of perspectives on credit assessment methodologies. The first Special Meeting in 2026 will focus on three themes: (1) Credit ratings and the cost of capital; (2) Ratings and assessments methodologies and time horizons; and (3) Boosting the capacity of developing countries to engage with ratings and assessments. These themes respond directly to paragraph 55(a) of the Sevilla Commitment and seek to establish sustained, structured dialogues under ECOSOC auspices with a view to supporting sustainable development and enhancing the resilience and fairness of the international financial system.
