A credit rating brings a number of benefits including increasing the pool of investors and reducing the cost of borrowing. It also increases the level of confidence that the company’s other stakeholders, including customers, regulators, shareholders, etc, have in the company.
Whether you are looking at getting a rating for the first time or you are looking to get an additional rating, the relationship you build and maintain with the rating agencies becomes a key consideration. This event provided a practical case study on what it’s like to get a rating for the first time, the impact of the rating on financing and finished with a panel discussion with the three key credit rating agencies – Fitch, Moody’s and S&P.
A blog summarising the key issues discussed will be available soon.
