INTRODUCTION
• A credit rating assesses the credit worthiness
of an individual, corporation, or even a
country. Credit ratings are calculated from
financial history and current assets and
liabilities.
• A credit rating tells a lender or investor the
probability of the subject being able to pay
back a loan.
• A poor credit rating indicates a high risk of
defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to high
interest rates
