The credit market in India has been growing steadily since the advent of the reforms process at the beginning of the nineties. Indian credit Market is the third largest in the world, after Japan and South Korea, in terms of primary issues of debt. Historically when a loan was given or a paper/note was issued, the associated Credit/Lending risk remained on the Lenders' Balance Sheet or with the buyer of the Credit till it was repaid.

Rating Agencies study Organizations, Industries, Sector and the macro environment almost the same way as Equity Analysts do with a few key differences.
