I am working on a financial prequalification criteria project. I am trying to develop scoring criteria based on credit default swap traded over the counter as basis for determining the financial solvency of bidders.

I will appreciate some help on the variables and dimensions that indicate the financial state on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 as the highest.

Furthermore, an insight into the application of credit default swap in case of companies doing business internationally and in developing countries in africa.

Why do we call this thing CDS instead of insurance ? Was it just to confuse the “enemy” by giving it some funny name ? Can you guess how many PhD’s and for how long worked on coming up with the name CDS ?
They should get another Nobel for their effort
to make up something completely meaningless
and incomprehensible. Just say it aloud CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP, you know right away what that means. Right ?

Hello,

There has been much debate in recent days regarding whether the market for “Credit Default Swaps(CDS)” should be more tightly regulated. The market makers are usually big banks who hold a large inventory of Credit Default Swaps.

Thanks,
