Credit Rating Agency

EthiFinance Ratings is a European Credit Rating Agency, registered by ESMA since 2012.
This European Agency stems from the combination of the French EthiFinance Credit Agency and its Spanish counterpart, Axesor Rating.

EthiFinance Ratings is a European Credit Rating Agency with analysts based in Madrid, Paris, Granada and Lyon.

We provide independent credit assessments to issuers (solicited ratings) and investors (unsolicited ratings) across a broad range of asset classes, including corporates, structured finance, project finance, financial institutions, and sovereigns.

Thanks to its public, specific methodologies, covering a large spectrum of asset classes, EthiFinance Ratings can provide ‘short-term’ or ‘long-term’ ratings to tap capital markets.

Leveraging transparent methodologies and EthiFinance’s ESG expertise, our ratings incorporate ESG factors and their impact on creditworthiness.

We offer public ratings and private credit assessments, supporting financing, investment, and regulatory needs with independent and reliable credit opinions.
