In Russia, a national rating scale is used, with the highest rating being "AAA" and the lowest being "C", with a "D" rating indicating actual default. Generally, the higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and the lower the yield on its bonds. - **AAA-rated bonds**: These are the most reliable, typically issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds**: These are reliable securities, 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 issuers (HYE). The risks are high, as is the yield. These are typically small or medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D-rated bonds**: These are on the brink of default, with maximum risks associated with them. This overview was presented by Alexey Grishchenko, Doctor of Economics, Professor at the Department of Operational and Sectoral Management at the Faculty of "Higher School of Management" of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
