Briefly, it covers how a credit rating estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, corporation or even a country. How it is used as a proxy evaluation of a potential borrower’s ability to repay debt. Typically, a credit rating tells a lender or investor the probability of the borrower being able to pay back the debt under normal conditions. A poor credit rating indicates a high risk of defaulting on a loan, thus leads to high interest rates or the refusal of a loan by the creditor.
