Fitch Ratings

Fitch Ratings is a global credit rating agency that assesses the creditworthiness of organizations, government entities, and financial instruments. It evaluates their ability to repay debts by assigning ratings, which help investors understand the risk involved in lending money or investing. Ratings range from "AAA," indicating very low risk, to "D," indicating default. These ratings influence borrowing costs and investment decisions, providing a standard for assessing financial stability and trustworthiness in the markets. Founded in 1914, Fitch plays a vital role in the financial industry by promoting transparency and informed decision-making.
