PACRA Methodology for Recognition of Default

The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) issues this methodology to define default as the failure to fulfill contractual financial obligations or through distressed restructuring. The document outlines specific events of default, including missed payments after grace periods and restructuring intended to avoid default, while detailing the rating implications for both rated issues and entities. It further addresses judgment considerations such as intent to default, bankruptcy filings, and regulatory constraints that limit PACRA's ability to track timely payment information.
