A sovereign rating is assigned and assessed based on a government’s overall ability to repay their debts. Sovereign rating is typically evaluated by analyzing the punctilious payments of individual bonds issued by the Central/Federal government. Domestic currency sovereign ratings and foreign currency sovereign ratings may differ in terms of rating results.
