The platform will aggregate ratings of legal entities and bonds from four Russian rating agencies (RAs). These are the Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA), Expert RA, the National Credit Rating Agency (NRA) and the National Credit Rating Agency (NCR).
The tool is useful in a situation where companies have the right to hide part of their reporting to protect themselves from sanctions (at the same time, the RA has access to a large amount of information, accumulates it and reflects it in ratings, thereby helping investors).
On the platform you can enter the name of the company in the search bar and find out its rating in each of the agencies.
This is expected to make it easier for Russian investors, who numbered more than 32 million in June, to decide whether to buy assets.
