Capital Intelligence (CI) Ratings has been providing credit ratings and credit analysis for more than 40 years. It was established in 1982 to provide research and information on the capital and money markets of the Middle East and North Africa, and launched its credit rating service in 1984 in response to market demand for in-depth and objective analysis of the counterparty risk of the region's banks. Building on its reputation in emerging markets, it extended geographical coverage to Emerging Europe and Asia (including India and China) and expanded sectoral coverage to non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs), non-financial corporates and governments. It is registered as a credit rating agency in the European Union, supervised by ESMA, and recognised as an ECAI by the EBA and by supervisory authorities in a number of GCC and broader MENA countries.

Independent, EU-regulated credit rating agency focused on emerging markets, operating to high standards more cost-effectively than larger competitors and stating that it never "rates to order".
