Abstract
Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar algunas conclusiones del análisis realizado sobre el papel que jugaron las empresas calificadoras de riesgos en el desarrollo de la crisis financiera subprime. Se realizó un estudio documental, donde se analizaron las acciones desempeñadas por las tres principales calificadoras de riesgos: Standard and Poors, Moody's y Fitch, en el desarrollo y profundización de la crisis subprime. La calificación favorable emitida por éstas impulsó la bursatilización de ciertos instrumentos financieros o emisoras, pero de igual forma, su posible conflicto de intereses se tradujo, en problemas o fallas en el sistema financiero mundial.
