DBRS Releases Updated Methodologies Providing Insight into DBRS Rating Process

DBRS has today released two updated methodologies, one for rating companies in the merchandising industry and one for rating sovereign governments. DBRS has taken no rating actions as a result of the updated methodologies.

The publication of these methodologies is part of an undertaking to update all of DBRS’s corporate methodologies in the coming months. The purpose of this plan is to provide market participants with additional insight into the rationale behind DBRS’s rating opinions in a transparent fashion and, as such, rating changes due specifically to the updated methodologies are not expected.

The methodologies providing DBRS’s processes and criteria are available by contacting us at info@dbrs.com.
