PACRA Financial Institutions Rating Methodology
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) issued this methodology to standardize the credit rating framework for State Bank of Pakistan-regulated commercial banks and development finance institutions. The document mandates a combined qualitative and quantitative assessment of ownership, governance, management, business risk, and financial risk to determine standalone credit quality and peer positioning. By evaluating industry dynamics, regulatory compliance, market share, and revenue diversification, PACRA assigns long-term and short-term credit ratings that reflect each institution's capacity to withstand economic pressures.
