Our approach


RATING CRITERIA

Learn More



Rating Criteria explains our forward-looking ratings approach. Criteria reports
identify rating drivers and assumptions, and highlight the scope and limitations
of our analysis. Master Criteria describe the basic foundation for our ratings
within a sector. Cross-Sector Criteria explain Fitch’s approach to topics that
relate to multiple areas or audiences. Sector-Specific Criteria describe Fitch’s
analytical approach for individual sectors, and address specific credit factors.



Our Approach


RATINGS PROCESS

Learn More



Fitch Ratings provides forward-looking credit opinions, as indicated by its
ratings, that reflect its expectations of credit behavior over a range of
scenarios. The rating process begins when an arranger, issuer, sponsor, or
underwriter contacts a member of Fitch’s Business Relationship Management (BRM)
group with a request to engage Fitch. Fitch may also initiate unsolicited rating
coverage where sufficient public information is available to provide insight to
subscribers and the public debt market.



Outlook 2024


GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK



Fitch Ratings has raised its forecasts for world growth in 2024 in its latest
Global Economic Outlook as confidence in European recovery prospects improve,
China’s export sector revives and domestic demand in emerging markets excluding
China (EM excl. China) shows stronger momentum.
