This study analyzes the effects of earthquakes on sovereign credit default risk. The study examines whether 20 major earthquakes that occurred in Türkiye, Mexico, Chile, South Africa, and Greece after 2010 have made a difference on CDS markets using the event analysis method. The results indicate that the earthquakes increased uncertainty in the CDS markets of all countries. These results prove that uncertainty about the ability of countries to repay their public debt has significantly changed compared to the pre-earthquake period.
