PACRA Recognition of Default Criteria
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) establishes clear criteria for recognizing default, defining it as either an uncured missed payment or a distressed restructuring undertaken to avoid default. Upon identifying these events, PACRA immediately revises affected issue and entity ratings to speculative grade or D (Default), applying a three-phase recognition process for distressed restructurings. The methodology incorporates regulatory exemptions, information availability constraints, and explicit intent to default to ensure transparent and consistent rating actions across the rated universe.
