30 Jun 2026 Moody's Deutschland GmbHESMA fines Moody's Deutschland 2.1 million EUR EU levelOrganisational requirements €2.15m

The credit rating agency did not submit up-to-date rating information to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), did not provide complete historical performance data to the central repository and lacked adequate procedures and internal control mechanisms. ESMA found negligent infringements and imposed fines totalling 2,145,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Reporting obligations to the supervisory authority are data quality issues – without functioning internal controls, they become a risk of fines.
