Importance of Credit Rating

Through Credit Rating, we estimate credit worthiness of an individual, corporation or a country. It is an opinion formed by credit evaluators of a borrower’s potential to repay debt. Every rating grade comes with its possibility of default, which in turn assists investor/lender to take informed investment decision. Various financial, non-financial parameters, past credit history and future outlook are determined before coming to a rating. There are various types of ratings viz. Issuer Rating/ Obligor Rating, Bank loan Rating, Issue based Rating, Project Rating etc. Based on type of borrower/issuer, Ratings can be classified as Individual Rating, Corporate Rating, Bank/Financial Institutions Rating, SME Rating, MFI Rating etc.

 

A rating procedure generally involves

  • Rating request
  • Submission of application, relevant documents and fees
  • Site visit and management interview
  • Rating assessment procedure
  • Rating committee, rating decision
  • Rating dissemination
