The aim of this publication was to analyze the impact of the countires’ credit ratings at the cost of capital. The article was carried out the analysis and review of the existing world literature on the above subject. Authors used a static panel data models for the 135 countries in the period of 2002–2012. As the independent variables were the long- and short-term credit ratings awarded by rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service. Credit ratings was converted linearly to the numeric variables.
