BACKGROUND
Prudential Ratings was born on the back of the broad-based sentiment of the need for a ratings agency that has a nuanced credit appreciation of business in the African context without compromise to international best financial practice. The founders drew from their extensive experience in several corporates in many African and Asian jurisdictions to develop a credit ratings agency that addresses this gap.
Prudential Ratings was incorporated in 2020 and is headquartered in Harare. The Ratings agency provides extensive credit orientated economic coverage of African corporates and jurisdictions. An extensively experienced team, from a variety of professional backgrounds across several jurisdictions, has been assembled to ensure that Prudential Ratings is securely positioned to provide global standard credit assessments services of African institutions. Prudential Ratings credit ratings services cover all Financial Institutions, Insurance, Corporates and Structured Finance Instruments.
