Canadian credit risk remains elevated but shows early signs of moderation. Persistent weakness in key sectors and provinces underscores the importance of granular credit monitoring.
Focus your attention where and when it matters most with access to the largest and most timely source of credit risk data globally.
Credit Benchmark provides a data-driven view of credit risk, offering coverage, detail, and collective insight available nowhere else. First, we collect the entity-level credit risk views of the world’s leading financial institutions. Next, we map, cleanse, anonymize and aggregate these raw contributions to create a ‘credit consensus’, delivered to our clients weekly.
The resulting Credit Consensus Ratings, Indices & Analytics are an entirely unique product backed by real-world market sentiment. Rather than the 'issuer pay model', it represents the views of those with 'skin in the game'.
