摘要

The rate at which American companies are defaulting on their debts is soaring. Things have not yet come to such a pass in Europe, though rating agencies wonder if they will, because credit quality is declining. At times like these, bankers reach for credit derivatives, instruments that allow lenders to parcel the risk of default and pass it to somebody else. Record levels of so-called credit-default swaps, the most widespread form of credit derivative, have been bought and sold in recent months. Yet a huge and nagging doubt remains. Will credit-derivative instruments work at the crucial moment, the one they were designed to cope with—when a company (or country) defaults, or comes close to doing so? The future of a market worth $600 billion hangs on the answer.
