PACRA Rating Transition and Default Criteria Methodology
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) establishes this methodology to standardize the historical performance appraisal of corporate and financial institution ratings through withdrawal-adjusted static pools. It mandates the calculation of issuer-weighted marginal and cumulative average default rates alongside detailed transition matrices to quantify rating stability and accuracy. The framework fulfills SECP, State Bank of Pakistan, and IOSCO disclosure mandates by requiring timely publication of default notes, annual transition studies, and standardized historical performance data.
