UNDP, ACET and other partners collaborate to strengthen African countries’ capacity to navigate the credit ratings process and thereby boosting credit ratings to ease access to more affordable capital. ACET is supporting a webinar series to provide insights on various aspects of credit ratings and their impact on African economies.
This is the fourth webinar in the series, exploring “How African Credit Rating Agencies Can Close the Risk Assessment Gap”. This will examine how African credit rating agencies are developing methodologies that better reflect the realities of African economies, the unique customers they serve, and how they can be leveraged to reduce the cost of capital. The discussion will go through practical insights for African governments seeking to enhance access to affordable financing. It will also highlight global experience that can inform Africa’s path forward and showcase the role of stronger domestic credit ratings systems.
