Credit ratings

  • Long-Term Credit Rating Scale: Assigned to issuers (debt obligations) with tenors exceeding 12 months.
  • Short-Term Credit Rating Scale: Assigned to issuers (debt obligations) with tenors below 12 months. Could be extended under some certain circumstances.
  • Long-term ratings

    Dagong Europe's Long-Term Credit Ratings consists of ten categories, ranging from ‘AAA’ – the highest credit quality, to ‘D’ – an actual default context.
    Each category (except ‘AAA’ and credit ratings below ‘CCC’) can be further divided into three sub-categories:

    (+): highest position
    No symbol: middle and
    (−): lowest position within the category.

    The ten categories identify the credit quality of the debt obligators are:

  • AAA: Highest Credit Quality
  • AA: Very High Credit Quality
  • A: High Credit Quality
  • BBB: Medium Credit Quality
  • BB: Speculative Credit Quality
  • B: Highly Speculative Credit Quality
  • CCC: High Credit Risk
  • CC: Very High Credit Risk
  • C: Highest Credit Risk
  • D: Default status
  • Short-term ratings

    Dagong Europe’s Short-Term Credit Ratings consist of six categories, ranging from ‘A-1’ – the highest financial capacity to fulfill short-term debt obligations, to ‘D’ – default.

    The six categories identify the debt issuers's financial strength within the next 12 months are:

  • A-1: Superior short-term financial strength
  • A-2: Strong short-term financial strength
  • A-3: Sufficient short-term financial strength
  • B: Acceptable ability to repay debt obligations
  • C: Questionable ability to repay debt obligations
  • D: Default status
  • Long-term and short-term credit rating relationship

    The comparison is only indicative and may be subject to changes. (Long-Term = Short-Term)

  • From AAA to A = A-1
  • A− = A-1 or A-2
  • BBB+ = A-2
  • BBB = A-2 or A-3
  • BBB− = A-3
  • From BB+ to B− = B
  • From CCC+ to C = C
  • D = D
