The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) establishes two rating modifiers, Outlook and Rating Watch, to signal the likelihood of future credit rating changes without guaranteeing them. The Outlook indicates a probable directional shift over the intermediate term based on evolving economic and business conditions, while Rating Watch alerts stakeholders to potential changes triggered by specific events with currently undetermined impacts. Both modifiers operate on a through-the-cycle basis and accompany base ratings, enabling PACRA to update credit assessments as underlying fundamentals or triggering events resolve.
