Taiwan Ratings Says Rated Companies Remained Default-Free in 2025, Showing Credit Resilience

Taiwan Ratings Corp. has long tracked changes in the creditworthiness and debt-servicing capacity of rated companies in Taiwan. Default rates and ratings stability are key indicators of corporate financial resilience. Consecutive years without defaults show that companies have continued to meet their debt obligations despite economic, interest-rate and external market volatility, while helping financial markets assess overall credit risk.

Taiwan Ratings’ latest report showed that rated companies in Taiwan recorded no defaults in 2025 for a ninth consecutive year, with the ratings stability rate at 85.6%. Although the rate edged down from 2024, it remained above its long-term average. The report disclosed no related monetary amounts, while overall ratings changes remained limited, reflecting resilient corporate credit profiles and contained market credit risk.
