Credit rating or, more precisely, Bank Loan Rating (BLR) used to be a mere banker’s requirement for large borrowers. However, its importance has grown over the years. Credit rating is relevant today not only from a corporate borrower’s point of view; it also holds much significance for a nation in terms of Sovereign Rating from Global Rating Agencies. The current article explains in detail the fundamentals of credit rating, its benefits, rating assignment methodology, credit rating process, rating scales used, what the ratings mean, and issues relating to credit rating agencies and solutions.

On September 7, 2004, Hurricane Ivan hit Grenada with wind speeds of 125 mph (200 kmph). It wreaked havoc with the infrastructure, economy and lives. This tiny island in the Caribbean region, also called “Spice Isle”, (population 100,000), was devastated with 90% of homes destroyed and total losses estimated at over 200% of GDP (GDP US$1 bn). Traditional insurance does not always have an answer to such calamities. By July 2005, insurance companies had settled over 5,000 claims and paid out over US$154 mn. This seems rather inadequate, does it not? Enter Parametric or Index-based insurance. It seeks to fill in the gaps left over by traditional insurance. It is imperative to understand at the very outset that parametric insurance is complementary to and not a substitute for traditional insurance.
