In Russia, a national rating scale is used, with the highest rating being "AAA" and the lowest being "C", with an additional "D" category indicating actual default. Higher ratings generally correspond to more reliable issuers and lower bond yields. - **AAA bonds**: These are the most reliable, typically issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds**: These are reliable bonds, commonly invested in by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds**: This is a transitional category, which may include reliable companies that are sensitive to adverse market or economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds**: These are high-yield bonds (HY bonds) with higher risks and yields, often issued by small and medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D bonds**: These are near-default bonds with maximum risks.
