ESMA reports on annual market share of credit rating agencies

30 November 2018

ESMA has published its annual market share calculation for EU registered credit rating agencies.

The purpose of the market share calculation is to facilitate issuers and related third parties in their evaluation of a CRA with no more than 10% total market share in the EU.

The CRA Regulation (CRAR), under Article 8d, says that issuers or related third parties are required to consider appointing a CRA with no more than 10% total market share whenever they intend to appoint one or more CRAs to rate an issuance or entity.

This market share calculation is valid for use from its date of publication and applicable until the date of publication of the next Market Share Calculation in 2019.
