Each month, one of our Subject Librarians chooses an electronic resource which they feel will be of interest to you.
August’s Resource of the Month has been selected by John Southall, Bodleian Data Librarian and Subject Consultant for Economics and Sociology.
John’s choice is FitchRatings PRO which provides financial data on banks, insurance firms, corporates and sovereigns. It includes the world’s leading bank fundamental data set, and ratings and research covering the fixed-income universe.
Overview
Fitch Ratings Inc. is one of three leading American credit rating agencies (the other two being Moody’s and Standard & Poor). FitchRatings Pro (formerly part of a product called Fitch Connect) is a platform that includes:
- Standardised financial data on over 33,000 private and public banks across 200 countries, along with up to 30 years of history
- Annual and interim financial data for the largest 3,200 banks
- Economic data and 3-year forecasts on 110 sovereigns
- Accurate and timely financials on thousands of institutions globally
