Private credit is one of the fastest-growing segments in the lending landscape, with close to $1.7 trillion in assets under management, of which $494.6 billion is capital waiting to be deployed. 

However, according to Moody's Ratings recent research, the European private credit market's relative lack of transparency – notably due to lower disclosures than in public markets – means that it is difficult to gain insights into the underlying credit quality. 

Private credit’s rapid growth, coupled with a highly competitive market, requires in-depth insight into the creditworthiness of potential borrowers balanced with quick decision making to capture opportunities and mitigate risks.
