Company "Rurik" is a pioneer in the Ukrainian financial market. The history of the agency began in the early years of our state's independence. The starting point for the national securities market is considered the adoption in June 1991 of the Law "On Securities and Stock Exchange." In less than a year, on March 20, 1992, a group of enthusiasts established the investment and financial company "Rurik." According to its founding documents, the main purpose of the company was commercial and commission activities with securities, as well as informational and consulting services to owners of securities.
With the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers on the Concept of creating a rating assessment system for regions, sectors of the national economy, and business entities, on April 1, 2004, a decision was made to focus exclusively on creditworthiness (reliability) assessment and rating of Ukrainian enterprises, organizations, and their debt instruments as the National Rating Agency.
On April 7, 2010, in accordance with the decision of the State Commission on Securities and Stock Market No. 385, the National Rating Agency "Rurik" was included in the State Register of Authorized Rating Agencies. The official status of an authorized rating agency is confirmed by the certificate issued to NRA "Rurik" on April 12, 2010, No. 4. Thus, the company "Rurik" gained the right to determine mandatory credit ratings of borrowers and debt instruments.
As of the end of the first half of 2023, the National Rating Agency "Rurik" was a leader in the Ukrainian market of credit rating assessments by the number of clients. Despite challenging times, we continue to develop and implement the latest information technologies alongside our accumulated experience to continuously improve the quality of our services.
