Africa's new credit agency: why it's needed
Original: Africa’s new credit agency: why it’s needed
Africa is setting up its own credit rating agency, a move aimed at addressing concerns that international agencies assess African economies too harshly and raise borrowing costs for governments on the continent. Backers argue a homegrown agency would offer fairer, better-informed assessments of African risk, easing debt pressures and giving countries more affordable access to capital markets.
Why now: Interest in Africa's high borrowing costs and dependence on foreign credit ratings has renewed attention on the proposal for a continental rating agency.
