      Hi Bhupender
      Answer is well started.
      Mention the issues with Credit Rating like-
      -Rating agencies rarely get credit quality right and they have been found to be well behind the curve in almost every default crisis.
      -The behavior of these agencies has been pro-cyclical, which is often seen to aggravate crises and fuel bubbles.
      Some good points but need to work on content.
      Good conclusion.
