Credit-Rating has made an important step in implementation of its global development strategy – the agency has established a Regional Rating Scale for CIS countries. This scale is intended to be used for assessment of risks that pertain to an entity operating in CIS countries, and to its debts. A rating by regional rating scale allows for comparing creditworthiness of different and various economic entities: sovereign governments, municipalities, banks, insurers, and other companies within a certain region. A region in this context is represented with a number of countries which are linked with each other with close economic and commercial ties, a comparative level of transition and social and economic development.
As opposed to national and international ratings, the credit ratings issued by the regional scale are intended for use in a number of region’s countries rather than in one country. At that the regional scale rating allows for employment of virtually all scale’s spectrum and contains more valuable information for inter-regional investor than those of international rating agencies. The ratings by CIS regional scale may be indicators allowing for comparison of companies domiciled in different countries of the region.
Credit-Rating has conducted an assessment of creditworthiness of sovereign governments in the member states of CIS and assigned credit ratings by the regional scale. While conducting rating analysis Credit-Rating considered state of budget, monetary, banking, currency systems and financial market, debt-related policy, level of transition, political factors, geopolitical situation in the region and key events that may affect creditworthiness in future.
