ESMA updated data on performance of Credit Rating Agencies

15 April 2015

The data includes transition matrices and default rates. It covers the period from 1 July to 31 December 2014 and is available in the Central Rating Repository.

The Central Rating Repository (CEREP) provides information on credit ratings issued by the Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) which are either registered or certified in the European Union. Please note that the current publication does not include the rating information of two certified credit rating agencies: HR Ratings de México, S.A. de C.V. that will be made available in May 2015 and Egan-Jones Ratings Co. (EJR) that will be made available at the next bi-annual publication (October 2015).

CEREP allows investors to assess, on a single platform, the performance and reliability of credit ratings on different types of ratings, asset classes and geographical regions over a given time period. CEREP is updated on a twice-yearly basis with statistics covering the preceding 6-month period, the reporting periods are January to June and July to December.
