Credit default swaps top movers: Chile and Nordea Bank

Credit default swaps sovereign & corporate movers

By Alanna Byrne

November 21, 2012 • Reprints

Once again, Italy is the country with the highest net exposure on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) weekly ranking of sovereign and corporate credit default swaps based on net notional value. Italy saw a 1.09% increase in the amount of its net notional from last week, while France's net notional amount to be paid out in case of default decreased by 1.41%. Despite a 0.49% drop in net notional, Brazil passed Germany to take the third spot on the list.

The corporate rankings were consistent, with General Electric Capital Corp., Berkshire Hathaway and Goldman Sachs experiencing a 0.65% decrease, a 4.11% increase and a 0.87% increase, respectively, in the amount of net notional to be paid out in case of a default.

The top mover among sovereign entities was Chile, whose net notional increased by 6.40% from one week ago. South Africa moved from thrid place to second place in the rankings with a 5.73% increase in net notional, while Slovenia's net notional amount increased by 5.01%.

Nordea Bank, a Stockholm-based financial services group, led corporate movers with an increase of 14.00% in its net notional. Rounding out the top three were The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., with a 13.20% increase in net notional, and Technip, an energy-sector engineering and construction company, with a 13.04% decrease.
