Fitch Finds High Delinquency Roll Rates Continue
Jul 28, 2009

Fifty-four percent of delinquent loans in Fitch Ratings-rated transactions moved from 30 days to 60 days between June and July, the ratings agency found. It was the 10th consecutive month that such movement measured above 50 percent, a situation that the agency views as an "important precursor in helping to anticipate future performance for CMBS delinquencies," it quoted managing director Mary MacNeill as saying. The majority of Fitch Loans of Concern do continue to perform, accounting for 14.8 percent of multiborrower fixed-rate deals and 28.8 percent of floating-rate deals, but the number is rising.
