Very good presentation indeed. But there is a question: is the list of credit rating agencies complete and exhaustive?

Sayef,
Many thanks for your kind question re. the exhaustiveness/completeness of the CRAs in my presentation. It is a complete as possible - taken from the defaultrisk.com website. There are grey areas where an advisory firm may also assign 'ratings' but might not be included and vice versa. Unfortunately, it won't be 100% precise, but certainly as good as it gets. The objective was to highlight that there are NOT only the likes of Moody's, S&P and Fitch but also many other regionally and topically specialised 'rating agencies'. Hope this answers your query.
Thanks for your interest and best regards,
Markus
P.S. Also many thanks to the complimentary comments, that's much appreciated.
