The CEREP database is updated today with new statistical data on the performance of credit ratings including transition matrices and default rates. The new set of statistics covers ratings data up to 30 June 2012.
CEREP is the Central Rating Repository (CEREP) providing information on credit ratings issued by 18 Credit Rating Agencies (CRAs) which are either registered or certified in the European Union. As the data covers the period up to 30 June 2012, it does not yet include data from one recently registered CRA.
The database allows investors to assess on a single platform the performance and reliability of credit ratings on different types of ratings, asset classes and geo-graphical regions over the time period of choice. Please note taht the CRAs are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data included.
To access the database, you can go through ESMA’s website > Registry and Databases > CEREP or directly through: http://cerep.esma.europa.eu/cerep-web
CEREP will be updated on a semi-annual basis with statistics covering up to the preceding reporting period, which covers six months lasting from 1 January to 30 June or, from 1 July to 31 December. ESMA will announce on its website future updates of CEREP.
