1. How long is the typical rating process likely to last?
We aim to complete a rating assignment in around 8-12 weeks from receipt of information, however, this is very much dependent on the flow of information from the side of the client.
2. Will on-site due diligence be part of the process?
Part of the due diligence involves meeting with senior management of the entity.
3. Is there any cost associated with soliciting a proposal from yourselves?
There is no charge in soliciting a proposal from our side. We would require the latest audited financials along with any interim financials before we send you a formal quotation.
4. Who are CI's Subscribers?
CI’s clients and subscribers include the world's leading commercial and investment banks, investors, central banks and regulators, international financial institutions, local banks and market participants, Islamic financial institutions, export credit agencies and government agencies.
5. What sets your methodology apart from other credit rating agencies in terms of credit rating for financial institutions and sovereign entities?
CI’s approach to rating banks and sovereigns is broadly smilar to that of other main credit rating agencies in terms of the rating process and the range of quantitative and qualitative factors considered before assigning ratings. Rating scales and definitions are also similar.
There are, however, differences with some of the other agencies in terms of the type of ratings assigned to banks.
