The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today launched its new database, the European Ratings Platform (ERP), to provide access to free, up-to-date information on credit ratings and rating outlooks on its website. The ERP is an important element of ESMA’s work, following the financial crisis, to increase transparency around credit ratings and help investors make informed decisions.
The benefits of the new ERP include:
- allowing investors and other users of ratings to easily compare all credit ratings that exist for a specific rated entity or instrument;
- lowering information costs by centralising information; and
- helping smaller and new credit rating agencies gain visibility in the market.
