2025 Credit Outlook: Italy

Join Morningstar DBRS on 12 December 2024 for a webinar hosted by Sonja Forster, Senior Vice President, European Financial Institution Ratings and Arnaud Journois, Senior Vice President, European Financial Institution Ratings. Our analysts will focus on European banking trends in 2024 and delve into the challenges expected in 2025, with emphasis on the impact of rate cuts, asset quality trends, the geopolitical environment and regulatory changes.

2025 Credit Outlook: European Banking

Morningstar DBRS released its semiannual North America Macroeconomic Update. The U.S. economy continues to experience robust and broad-based growth. The IMF projects the economy will expand 2.8% this year, which is more than double the growth rate of the next fastest country among the G-10. Whereas the U.S. is operating at or above capacity, Canada is operating with slack. We expect growth in Canada to accelerate in 2025 from its lackluster performance in 2024. Labor markets look better balanced going into 2025, and inflation trends are favorable. The greatest risk to the outlook comes from the potential imposition of tariffs.

2025 Credit Outlook: North America Macroeconomic Update

During the third quarter of 2024, Morningstar DBRS issued and refreshed a total of 381 CEs across 362 borrowers for 27 lenders including managers of CLOs and private credit funds. Total volumes include CEs assigned to new borrowers and existing CEs refreshed for periodic review and amendments, as well as a handful of internal assessments. Currently, Morningstar DBRS assigns CEs to about 1,400 leveraged corporate borrowers. CEs are not credit ratings, but rather point-in-time assessments of credit quality, which are used to estimate borrower default likelihood in CLOs, rated feeder funds, investment fund debt, equipment leases, and other structured finance transactions.

Join Morningstar DBRS on December 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET for a Frontline Perspectives webinar detailing third-quarter CE activity and performance, presented by Jerry van Koolbergen and Orest Gavrylak. The discussion will highlight overall credit quality, financial metrics year-to-date, revenue growth, and anticipated CE volume in the final quarter of 2024.

Frontline Perspectives: Credit Estimate Quarterly Snapshot Q3 2024

The credit quality of Canadian provinces remains strong and resilient. Under the weight of higher interest rates, economic growth has been lacklustre in 2024. As a result, fiscal improvement has largely stalled or taken a step backwards in some cases; however, provincial debt-to-GDP remains largely in check, helped by material upward revisions to historical GDP.  Looking ahead to 2025, we see little prospect of ratings improvement, while downside may be increasing for some. A further easing in monetary policy is expected to provide a boost to domestic economic activity, although changes to federal immigration policy and the threat of more restrictive trade policy cloud the outlook. Political uncertainty remains heightened in Canada with a federal election required by the fourth quarter, if not earlier, and the potential for an early election in Canada's most populous province, Ontario.

2025 Credit Outlook: Italian Insurance

Global economic conditions have remained broadly favorable during 2024. as major central banks in the Americas and Europe have begun reducing interest rates with the easing of inflationary pressures. As rates continue to gradually decrease, monetary policy is expected to be less of a drag on economic activity in 2025. While the IMF World Economic Outlook predicts global growth in the year ahead, we remain cautious of the impacts of U.S. policy changes, regional conflicts, China's domestic growth and tension with Western democracies, and increasing climate and weather risks.

Further, democracies with federal elections in 2025 include Canada, Australia, Germany, and Poland, all of which could change the global landscape. Affordability concerns and low consumer confidence has persisted in many advanced economies, resulting in political discontent and weaker private consumption growth.

Join Morningstar DBRS for a Frontline Perspectives webinar as we examine the growing penetration of private-label CSPs globally, and the implications thereof for manufacturers of branded CSPs and grocers.

Although inflation is normalizing, prices of consumer staple products remain elevated. This, combined with high interest rates that are only slowly declining, has continued to squeeze consumer purchasing power, contributing to the growing penetration of private-label CSPs. In 2022 and 2023, sales of private-label CSPs grew considerably more than those of their branded counterparts, and now account for around 40% and 20% of the total grocery market value in Europe and the U.S., respectively, while in the U.K., private-label CSPs make up more than 50% of all grocery sales. Does the proliferation of private-label CSPs signal the beginning of the end for branded consumer product companies?
