Moody’s Analytics Strengthens CreditEdge™ and RiskCalc™ Platforms with AI-Powered Features
24.8.2020 16:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Moody’s Analytics is pleased to announce the addition of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to the CreditEdge and RiskCalc solutions. These platforms now incorporate the Moody’s Analytics Credit Sentiment Score™ tool, as well as an AI-News feed. These tools use natural language processing and news media text analytics to help customers filter out market noise and find the credit-relevant news about public and private companies in their portfolios.
Using these AI-powered features, customers can identify news stories relevant to a company’s credit risk – for instance containing news on defaults, bankruptcies, debt restructuring, lawsuits, and potential financial distress – and score them based on the sentiment of their content towards that company. Together, these resources complement the quantitative credit risk modeling capabilities of the RiskCalc and CreditEdge solutions, and give portfolio and risk managers more early warning of credit deterioration.
“Our customers want to have as much real-time information as possible to make informed business decisions and manage their portfolios more effectively, especially in worsening credit environments,” said Nihil Patel, Managing Director at Moody’s Analytics. “By uncovering direct and indirect links between events and companies, these new AI-driven capabilities deliver insights that were previously difficult and time consuming to attain in one place.”
The CreditEdge solution provides a leading quantitative probability of default model for measuring the credit risk of portfolios of listed firms and sovereigns. It combines the Moody’s Analytics EDF™ (Expected Default Frequency) model, which quantifies the probability that a firm will default in the next 12 months, with industry-leading analytics to provide early warning on exposures. The RiskCalc solution offers a robust approach to assessing the credit risk of private firms. It generates a forward-looking probability of default or EDF calculation, loss given default, and expected loss credit measures.

Syngenta Signs MoU to Be Strategic Partner in India’s First Open-Data Agricultural Ecosystem Annam.AI15.6.2026 10:35:00 EEST | Press release
India’s agriculture sector is a global powerhouse, uniquely characterized by its massive scale, vast arable land, diverse agro-climatic zones and rich biodiversity. These strengths have propelled the country to become one of the world’s leading producers of crops such as rice and wheat. However, farmers in the country face significant challenges – from erratic monsoons, severe droughts and unseasonal rains compounded by El Nino, to pests and diseases that destroy an estimated 30 percent of crops annually. More than 80 percent of India’s estimated 150 million farming households are composed of smallholder farmers who operate on less than two hectares of land. This limits economies of scale, sets obstacles to the wider adoption of advanced technologies and could widen a systemic gap between large commercial agricultural operations and the bulk of its farming population.
