Sumario:This paper addresses the possible disruption of the global financial order (GFO)based on the behavior of S&P Global, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings, century-old rating agencies,in face of three potentially disruptive crises: the 2008 global financial crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and the climate breakdown. The main argument is that, historically, these agencieshave adapted to the GFOs in force, mirroring their institutional and ideological parametersand thereby reflecting international tendencies. Based on an institutional historical analysisand in light of the behavior of the agencies in the crises above, it calls into question the GFOtransition discussed by scholarship.
