KUALA LUMPUR: Only six per cent of rated companies in Asia Pacific (APAC) have an overall high exposure to US tariff-related risks, the lowest globally, reflecting the region’s resilience amid trade and market upheavals, according to the Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s Ratings).
In a sectoral report today, Moody’s Ratings said the majority of APAC non-financial companies are largely insulated from the three channels of risk transmission -- trade, macroeconomic and financial -- that have emerged following recent global tariff developments.
