In Russia, a national rating scale is used, where the highest rating is "AAA" and the lowest is "C", with the "D" rating indicating an actual default. Generally, the higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and the lower the yield on its bonds. - **AAA bonds**: These are the most reliable bonds issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds**: These are reliable bonds that are invested in by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds**: These are transitional category bonds issued by companies that may be sensitive to adverse market and economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds**: These are high-yield bonds with high risks and high returns, typically issued by small and medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D bonds**: These bonds are on the brink of default, carrying the highest risks.
