This paper attempts to identify the determinants of credit ratings for debt instrument issuers in the so-called emerging markets. The study was conducted on the sample of convertible bonds issuers in 2001-2012, half of which originated from Central and Eastern Europe, while the rest were U.S. operators. The analysis is focused exclusively on pairs of bonds with the same rating given by the British Fitch agency, which specialises in analysing Central and East European markets. The conducted studies show that solvency risk, interpreted as indebtedness, financial leverage and current solvency, is a major difference between the two groups of bonds. Changes in indebtedness, i.e. in assets held by foreign investors, are apparently the reasons of higher requirements for issuers from the emerging markets.

W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę identyfikacji czynników determinujących rating kredytowy emitentów instrumentów dłużnych na rynkach wschodzących. Padaniu poddano grupę emitentów obligacji zamiennych z lat 2001-2012, z czego połowa pochodziła z Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej, natomiast druga część to podmioty amerykańskie. Analiza dotyczyła wyłącznie par obligacji o tym samym ratingu, nadanym przez brytyjską agencje Fitch, która specjalizuje się w analizie rynków wschodniej i centralnej Europy. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala zauważyć, że istotnym czynnikiem różnicującym obie grupy obligacji jest ryzyko wypłacalności rozumiane przez poziom zadłużenia, stopień dźwigni finansowej oraz płynność bieżącą. Zmiany wartości zadłużenia, a więc posiadanych przez inwestorów zagranicznych aktywów wydają się główną przyczyną wyższych wymagań wobec emitentów z rynków wchodzących.
