About us

Credit Benchmark provides Credit Consensus Ratings and Analytics based on contributed risk views from 40+ of the world’s leading financial institutions, almost half of which are GSIBs, domiciled in the US, Continental Europe, Switzerland, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia and South Africa. The risk views are collected, aggregated, and anonymized to provide an independent, real-world perspective of credit risk, delivered twice monthly to our partners. Credit Consensus Ratings and Analytics are available on 100,000+ corporate, financial, fund and sovereign entities globally, most of which are unrated by credit rating agencies. Credit Benchmark also produces 1,200 credit indices, which help risk practitioners better understand industry and sector macro trends. Risk professionals at banks, insurance companies, asset managers and other firms use the data to gain visibility on entities without a public rating, inform risk sharing transactions (CRT / SRT), monitor and be alerted to changes within the portfolio, benchmark, assess and analyze trends, and fulfil regulatory requirements and capital.

    Credit Trends: Insights from Capital Markets Credit Analysts Society (CMCAS) 2025 As we move into 2025, the financial landscape is poised for a dynamic year. Key takeaways from yesterday’s CMCAS event offer a window into the challenges and opportunities ahead: –Economic Outlook: 🔹Geopolitical and Economic Risks: Tariffs, recession risks, and geopolitical tensions create a complex landscape. While banks are prepared to handle these risks in isolation, concurrent events pose a unique challenge. 🔹Higher Rates, Fewer Deals: Sustained, elevated interest rates are muting deal activity, as institutions tread cautiously. –Private Credit Explosion / Bank Disintermediation: 🔹Not a repeat of the 2009 financial crisis–today’s private credit deals boast strong documentation and robust structures. 🔹Banks increasingly finding ways to collaborate with private credit players. –Synthetic Risk Transfer: 🔹Experts are bullish on SRT as a risk management and capital recycling tool, offering better returns through increased balance sheet velocity. –Regulatory Environment: 🔹Supervision shows few signs of easing despite change in US administration, with lessons from Archegos and SVB still fresh. 🔹Predictable rules are essential for integrating risk into decision models. –AI Applications: 🔹AI is streamlining processes & quieting trading floors—reducing tedious legwork (research, pitchbook development)—but the ultimate credit decisions remain firmly in human hands. At Credit Benchmark, we’re proud to provide insights that help institutions navigate these shifts. Consensus credit intelligence is more important than ever, enabling decisive, more resilient decision-making in a fast-evolving market. What trends do you see shaping the credit landscape in 2025?

  • From a low of $40 per barrel in early 2020, West Texas oil hit $80 during the Ukraine war. Despite some pull-back it has stayed above $60, repeatedly testing $80 during 2024 as the Middle East conflict widened. But with Saudi Arabia building its post-oil economy, an expected boom in US drilling, a slowdown in China and possible ceasefire in Ukraine, 2025 may see an oil glut. Learn more about Credit Benchmark's consensus credit ratings for oil & gas as well as other sectors to enable more decisive credit risk decisions.
