In the context of Scope Ratings’ strategy of focussing on the needs of institutional investors, Scope will offer its unsolicited bank and covered bond credit ratings on a subscription basis only via its credit intelligence platform.

The ratings are driven by Scope’s fundamental assessment of the legal framework and resolution regimes applying to covered bonds issued by banks rated by Scope.

Ratings are driven by the bank’s issuer rating and the fundamental credit strength of French covered bonds, reflects fundamental support of strong legal framework and preferential treatment in the resolution regime.
