Credit Rating - according to the Sovereign Wikirating Index (SWI)
Evaluation period: July 2013
On Wikirating every approved (reasonable) rating method and its ratings are published. The user can decide which rating he wants to trust. Nevertheless, a non-binding opinion for an overall rating is provided, which is evaluated through the Sovereign Wikirating Index (SWI). This open-source and free rating method uses five economical criteria (public debt, account balance, GDP[1] growth rate, inflation rate and unemployment rate).

- Data and Lists
Rating Method Public Sector Credit Framework (PSCF)
Evaluation period: n.a.
The rating method Public Sector Credit Framework (PSCF)[6] calculates government bond default probabilities by performing a multi-year fiscal simulation on the target government. The user of PSCF has to set up a model that forecasts macroeconomic variables, revenue, expenditure and debt levels. Models include random variables so that each simulation trial produces different outcomes. In addition, the user sets a default threshold stated in terms of a metric output by the model, such as Debt/GDP and interest/revenue. The default probability is the percentage of trials that surpass the threshold in any given year. PSCF also includes a default probability to ratings map so that the system can also generate a set of ratings from the simulation results.

Rating Method Resilience (Countries)
Evaluation period: n.a.
The rating method Resilience[7] is a dynamic rating system which is based on the evaluation of the capacity of systems to withstand shocks and extreme events. It does not calculate default probabilities, but complexity based indices. In this sense it is not a classical "credit rating"[8].On Wikirating, the complexity values are mapped to the credit rating scale to have a better impression.[9]
