The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA supervises financial institutions making use of the services of Credit Rating Agencies, e.g. for the capital-adequacy calculations carried out by banks. Supervised institutions can use ratings to meet a number of regulatory requirements. In certain specific cases, only ratings from agencies recognised by FINMA may be used. The requirements for recognition are set out in FINMA Circular 2012/1 “Rating agencies”. They are designed to ensure that the quality of ratings used for regulatory reporting meets certain minimum standards. FINMA recognized the following Credit Rating Agencies. Please note that recognition can be limited to certain types of ratings.
