Code of Conduct

Planet Rating, MicroFinanza Rating and MicroRate signed the Code at AMT's board meeting in September 2011.

Rating agencies that are members of AMT are required to sign the code and abide by it at all times. The code of conduct was drawn up by AMT to ensure that the supply side of the microfinance rating market adheres to certain principles in order to strengthen the quality of that supply.

Whilst rating agencies that are members of AMT are obliged to sign the code, non-member rating agencies active in Africa are wholeheartedly encouraged to become signatories.
