In addition, the assignment of the rating procedure is quite expensive and not every bank go to such expense. The price can range from several hundred thousand dollars to several million, but you can save if you get the ratings do not have all the big three, and one of the agencies. Despite the high price, the results in most cases justified. There are three well-known international rating agencies: Standard & Poors, Fitch Ratings and Moody's. Russian sites of these agencies: www.sandp.ru, www.fitchratings.ru, www.moodys.ru.
In assigning ratings included quantitative positive and negative characteristics of banks, including the integrity of the balance sheet, profitability and risk management. During the rating analysis also evaluated the qualitative factors, such as strategy and management quality, economic and market conditions and the likely path of business development organization in the future. The final decision on granting the ratings made by rating committees comprised of leading analysts and independent members, including representatives of the leadership of the agency.
In addition, there are ratings and rankings, ordering banks on any indicator. Various rankings are published regularly on the site, "RBC Rating."
