What is a rating?
A rating is a rank assigned by an impartial third-party rating agency. This rating indicates the likelihood that deposits or bonds will be repaid at the original interest rates, and also indicates the soundness and creditworthiness of the company itself.
Standard & Poor’s and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. are among five rating agencies that have been adopted by the Financial Services Agency in Japan. |
