Beginning in October 2008, Moody’s Investors Service will recalibrate its ratings of U.S. Municipal Bond issues and issuers, and migrate these ratings to its global rating scale, to facilitate comparability of credit quality across Moody’s entire rated universe. Moody’s plans to transition its Municipal ratings by sector; beginning with state government general obligation ratings, the transition of ratings for a given sector, other than local governments, will take place on a single day during the transition period.
