Industry Specific Studies

Industry analysis is a key component of credit rating process, as entities do not operate in a vacuum. Economic environment, regulatory policies, demand and supply dynamics, competition, energy situation, security threats, and other factors all play a significant role that can impact an entity’s performance. Hence, it is paramount to be fully cognizant of how the industry is behaving and what can be expected in the future.
PACRA assesses the level of credit risk prevalent in various industries. This is an ongoing exercise to determine short-term and long-term prospects of the industry. We establish correlation between the industry and entities emanating out of it. Although industry level analysis is conducted on all the sectors in PACRA’s rating universe, we traditionally publish our industry reports (in public domain) for sectors that have five or more clients. This covers close to two-thirds of our outstanding ratings.
The new code of conduct requires rating agencies to publish industry reports for all the sectors. In compliance with the new code, PACRA will publish its opinion on all industries within its rating universe starting July 01, 2014. These could be in form of studies, reviews, update or snapshots.
