What the grades mean

Each agency’s scaleOutlooks and watches

GradeWhat it means
AAA(lka)The highest national rating: the lowest default risk of any issuer in Sri Lanka.
AA+ / AA / AA-Very low default risk compared with other Sri Lankan issuers; only slightly weaker than AAA.
A+ / A / A-Low default risk relative to other Sri Lankan issuers, but changing circumstances or economic conditions hurt more than at higher grades.
BBB+ / BBB / BBB-Moderate default risk relative to other Sri Lankan issuers; adverse changes are more likely to affect timely repayment.
BB+ / BB / BB-Elevated default risk relative to other Sri Lankan issuers; repayment is somewhat uncertain and more exposed to adverse changes over time.
B+ / B / B-Significantly elevated default risk; obligations are being met, but with a limited margin of safety.
CCCVery high default risk relative to other Sri Lankan issuers.
CC / CDefault of some kind appears probable (CC), or is imminent or under way (C).
RD / DRestricted default (missed some payments but still operating) or default.
(lka)
Marks Fitch’s Sri Lanka national scale. AA-(lka) is not the same as an international AA-.
Outlook
The direction a rating is likely to move over one to two years: Stable, Positive, Negative or Evolving.
Rating Watch
A higher chance of a near-term change, usually triggered by a specific event and resolved over a short period. Positive, Negative or Evolving.
Reviewed
Fitch looked at the rating (for example after a criteria change) and left it unchanged.
