The updated methodology can be downloaded here. This rating methodology replaces the version published on 21 June 2024.

Scope Ratings has introduced editorial changes for some of the headlines for transparency and generic consistency and added section 3 on information and data sources. For enhanced clarity, Scope Ratings has introduced editorial changes to i) footnote 6, ii) the note for figure 1, iii) section 4.1 and iv) section 4.2.3.1. For better readability, Scope Ratings has also repositioned figure 3 and moved the notes on figures 3 and 4 to the main text. Additionally, Figure 5b was introduced to address an error on the disclosure of the categorisation of the financial profile assessment for non-capitalised institutions.

The update does not affect any ratings assigned by Scope Ratings.
