ACRAA was established in 2001 as an initiative of ABA to promote mutual cooperation among members for the purpose of improving rating quality. In emerging market countries in Asia, rating scales vary from country to country. However, challenges are common in such areas as objectiveness and transparency of rating process, and quality of analysis and rating. In order to jointly address those issues, ACRAA has been establishing and disseminating the best practices in rating process and conducting joint training workshops. In recent years, it has also enhanced its roles to collect information on the global regulatory framework over credit rating agencies (CRAs), and to provide information on the bond markets and mandatory rating requirements in Asia. As the current ACRAA Chairman, the Japan Credit Rating Agency Ltd. (JCR) has been leading the activities of ACRAA. ACRAA’s membership includes 28 CRAs in 15 jurisdictions in Asia.
