Only around 10% of banks are rated by the credit rating agencies

For Africa, despite the fact that bank credit ratings are compulsory in Nigeria and Zimbabwe, the rating coverage is lower and generally restricted to the larger banks. In many countries, no banks are credit rated and access to up-to-date financial data and analyses is limited. The Africa Analyst strives to bridge this gap and has already built a database covering around 50% of the continents licensed banks, from which sector and entity reports are generated. Our entity reports range from affordable statistical reports, providing the key stats and ratios to support your own analysis, to comprehensive reportS offering the Africa Analyst's internal scoring, detailed analysis and supporting information. View a sample of each on our Products page.
