How the Ratings Are Compiled The Country Credit ratings developed by Institutional Investor are based on information provided by senior economists and sovereign-risk analysts at leading global banks and money management and securities firms. The respondents have graded each country on a scale of zero to 100, with 100 representing the least chance of default. We also asked participants to rank ten political, economic and financial indicators in order of their importance for each region and for selected countries. Participants’ responses were weighted according to their institutions’ assets. Names of respondents are kept strictly confidential.
