Emerging Credit Rating Limited (ECRL) External Credit Assessment Institution (ECAI) It is not an all-encompassing label of “goodness” for a corporation.

Credit Rating is an informed, well-researched and thought out opinion on the likelihood of risk of default of a corporation which can fall under the label of a financial institution, an insurance company or a non-banking corporation. The assessment may be that of an organization’s risk of default on its financial obligations in general, or the likelihood of default on a particular loan or debt. It

can be seen as fulfilling the need for more information in the market by providing current and timely Rating based on a standardized scale, a response to the demand for more information by issuers and borrowers. According to current law, public offers of all debt instruments are required to have a Credit rating prior to being issued. This mandate includes bonds, debentures, commercial paper, structured finance and asset/mortgage backed securities. In addition, initial public offering of all banks and non-financial institutions require a credit assessment, along with public issues of shares at a premium. The competitive landscape of the Credit Rating industry consists of only two local companies. We believe there is a huge potential for growth in this industry and look forward to serving our clients and investors with the highest quality of risk assessment and Credit Rating services.

ECRL at the ROSC Assessment 2025 Consultation | The World Bank & ACCA Bangladesh

Emerging Credit Rating Ltd. (ECRL), was honored to participate in the ROSC Assessment 2025 Consultation, organized by The World Bank and ACCA Bangladesh. As an ACCA Approved Employer, ECRL remains dedicated to enhancing financial transparency and strengthening regulatory frameworks in Bangladesh.

With a track record of conducting credit ratings for over 56,000 businesses, ECRL has gained deep insights into the financial landscape, particularly in the SME sector, which represents over 90% of businesses in Bangladesh. A significant challenge observed is that many SMEs lack structured financial record-keeping systems, making compliance with complex regulatory frameworks difficult.

At the consultation, our CEO, Arifur Rahman, FCCA, FCA, CSAA, highlighted these realities and suggested a more practical and adaptable approach to financial reporting for SMEs. Recognizing their crucial role in the economy, he emphasized the need for a framework that is both accessible and implementable, ensuring wider participation and compliance.

ECRL appreciates the engaging discussions and perspectives shared at this esteemed event and looks forward to continued collaboration in shaping a financial ecosystem that fosters growth, transparency, and inclusivity.
