Question 1

Сценарий A: Escalation?

Accepted Answer

Scenario A (Escalation) — 50% Chain: Fitch's negative assessment of Discoms' financial health triggers increased scrutiny and potential regulatory intervention. This leads to tighter credit ratings for Discoms, making it more difficult to secure loans or raise capital from the market. This ultimately impacts their ability to purchase power from generators, leading to potential power shortages and price hikes for consumers in the near term (2-4 weeks). * Regulatory bodies like the Ministry of Power issue a statement outlining stricter financial requirements for Discoms. * Discoms face increased scrutiny from rating agencies with downgrades in credit ratings. * Reports of disrupted power supply and price hikes surface in major cities. Scenario B (Status Quo) — 38% Baseline: The current situation remains unchange (29% model probability, not a guarantee)
