GCR employs the largest team of rating analysts in Africa, split amongst 6 key ratings units. GCR's ratings are based on best international methodologies, suitably tailored to account for unique local market conditions, and are regularly reviewed. GCR's core operating principals are:
Analysts concentrate on specific product categories (thus ensuring specialist expertise)
Regional representatives concentrate on geographic areas (thus ensuring local knowledge)
All ratings are accorded by GCR's rating panel and stringent checks and controls are implemented throughout the ratings process (thus ensuring quality and consistency)
The fact that GCR has now established an unrivalled track record for ratings accuracy in emerging markets supports our view that emerging market credit risk analysis is a very “unique” and specialised process, which GCR is strategically best positioned to undertake.
