A credit rating is an evaluation of the credit risk of a prospective debtor (an individual, a business, company or a government), predicting their ability to pay back the debt, and an implicit forecast of the likelihood of the debtor defaulting.
The three major credit rating agencies are: Standard & Poor's, Fitch, and Moody's. The ratings of DBRS, China Chengxin, Dagong and JCR also exist.
