What is the object of the project?
The object of the project consists in the development of the integrated information system of the ‘Independent Credit Rating Authority’, which will include a central database on the economic behaviour of public sector entities and a single credit rating scale for the generation and assignment of credit scores to natural and legal persons in relation to their debts towards the Hellenic State. The credit score for natural and legal persons will be generated by the information system through automated processing of economic behaviour data obtained from public sector entities by the use of an algorithm. The information system will interoperate with other electronic systems (public and private, such as TIRESIAS SA), with the aim of exchanging credit scores and creating a single scoring system for assessing the creditworthiness of natural and legal persons.
