View answerRating agency costs relating to NAMA are, in the main, paid by the NTMA as part of its overall sovereign rating programme. NAMA directly bears the cost arising from the rating of NAMA Bonds by Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS). NAMA advises that the terms of its agreement with DBRS are commercially sensitive and of a confidential nature.
