Abstract

In this paper the authors apply a unique credit rating system on a sample of banks in Romania, Hungary, The Czech Republic and Poland, based on the CAMEL, PERLAS and Stickney models. The aggregate model correlates the results of these rating systems in an unique rating system according to ratings agencies Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch scores. All these models are based on the financial ratios of performance, activity, capital adequacy, liquidity, equity and management. The results indicate that such evaluation is closed to the agencies' ratings as the final model aggregates the partial score of each model included.
