| Grade | What 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. |
| CCC | Very high default risk relative to other Sri Lankan issuers. |
| CC / C | Default of some kind appears probable (CC), or is imminent or under way (C). |
| RD / D | Restricted default (missed some payments but still operating) or default. |
