PBR Rating is an African financial services and rating agency, currently established in Tunisia and gradually expanding its operations across the MENA region. Founded in 2018, its mission is to provide financial and non-financial ratings, along with research and analysis across various economic sectors, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of financial information for all economic stakeholders. Leveraging numerous technical partnerships, PBR Rating applies its expertise in financial engineering and econometrics to serve diverse economic entities.
STRUCTURE

PBR Rating has a clear organizational structure, with a strict distinction between the technical activities related to analysis and evaluation on one hand, and other activities in economic intelligence on the other. In order to strengthen its research and development activities, particularly through the updating and continuous improvement of its sector-specific evaluation and rating frameworks, PBR Rating has established several local scientific committees. The functions of analysis and evaluation are strictly governed by three committees: the Rating Committee, the General Coordination Committee, and the Quality Control Committee.
