    Group Index

    The BradyNet Group Ladder is the calculated average rating of the four agencies participating on BradyNet: Moody's, S&P, FitchIBCA Duff & Phelps, and Thomson Financial Bankwatch. Specific points are assigned to each possible rating level. Starting with 100 points assigned to a perfect AAA (or Aaa) rating, points are then subtracted for every ratings level below AAA for each country. In case of a positive or negative outlook, 1 point is added or subtracted, repectively. The average is calculated from these assigned points. The table above lists groups by their average rating.
