Credit Ratings

An assessment of the creditworthiness of a borrower in general terms or with respect to a particular debt or financial obligation.

Credit assessment and evaluation for companies and governments are generally done by credit rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch, ICRA, Crisil, etc. These rating agencies are paid by the entity that is seeking a credit rating for itself or for one of its debt issues.
