  
Fitch Ratings has announced a recalibration of its National Rating scale for Sri Lanka, adjusting the benchmark used to measure relative credit risk among domestic issuers across the country.
National scale ratings provide an evaluation of creditworthiness relative to other entities operating within the same domestic jurisdiction. Unlike international scale ratings, which evaluate risk on a global level and are constrained by sovereign foreign-currency ceilings, national ratings reflect relative standing within the specific domestic market of Sri Lanka.
Key Developments
- Fitch Ratings has implemented an official recalibration of Sri Lanka’s National Rating scale.
- The recalibration updates the comparative assessment framework used by domestic market participants to evaluate local debt and corporate credit.
- National rating adjustments align relative issuer standings across the domestic financial environment.
The recalibration provides local investors and market participants with an updated structure to assess credit profiles and risk distributions within Sri Lanka’s domestic capital market.
