Different industries and markets have different competition, business models and market changes, and rating agencies will comprehensively consider the impact of these factors on credit risk.
4. Legal and political environment: The rating agencies will also consider the influence of legal and political environment on the credit status of the rated object. Legal stability, government policies and other factors may have an impact on the credit risk of the entity.
5. Internal models and methods of rating agencies: Different rating agencies have different rating models and methods for determining credit ratings. These models and methods will consider various factors and adopt different weights and algorithms for evaluation.
