AbstractThis study investigates the informational roles of foreign ownership in local credit rating agencies in the fast expanding Chinese onshore debt market, the world largest emerging debt market. We show evidence of a robust negative relationship between bond offering yield and  foreign ownership in local credit rating agencies. This suggests that ratings provided by raters  with foreign ownership certify the credit quality of debt issuers, and thus enhance the market values of debt new issues. The further analysis on the information content of ratings provided by agencies with foreign ownership, however, is in contrast with the information revelation role of foreign-owned rating agencies. Foreign-owned rating agencies exhibit no better predictive power of issuers’ future credit performance than pure domestic rating agencies. In addition, we document no significant stock price reactions toward the announcements of rating revisions made by either domestic or foreign-owned rating agencies. The subsequent results indicate that foreign-owned rating agencies seem not to reveal additional information to capital market participants.
