Singapore, 29 April 2025 – In response to
recent US tariff actions that affect several Asian economies, CRIF, a global
leader in credit bureau, business information, and credit risk solutions, today
announced the launch of Tariff
Impact Assessment Score, a new analytics feature designed to assess the
potential impact of US tariffs on a company’s credit profile.

The introduction of
this assessment score marks a strategic enhancement to CRIF’s suite of business
information offerings, providing clients with a targeted, data-driven
evaluation of how tariffs may influence a company’s creditworthiness, cash
flow, and operational resilience.

Novi Rolastuti, Regional
Head of Sales for Business Information Services, Asia of CRIF said: “We
developed the Tariff Impact Assessment Score to give our clients early,
actionable insights into trade-related vulnerabilities. With global trade
dynamics shifting fast, the ability to anticipate risk and build resilience is
a competitive advantage. This score enables our clients to take proactive steps
– whether rebalancing supply chains, adjusting trade strategy, or screening new
partners.”

A Smart Gauge for
Credit Risk and Trade Exposure

The Tariff
Impact Assessement Score is a dedicated section available in CRIF
business information reports, designed to provide a clear indicator of
tariff-related vulnerabilities. The score is built on a multi-dimensional model
that takes into consideration:

CRIF’s market and analytics experts have
conducted scenario-based evaluations across countries to identify industries
most affected by US tariffs. This analysis helps companies better understand
sector-specific risks and dependencies.

Recognizing that company scale influences
agility and market responsiveness, CRIF incorporates size into its assessment
using country-specific thresholds. Larger enterprises typically posses greater
capacity to shift production or explore alternative markets, whereas smaller
businesses may face heightened exposure.

·&nbsp;Company-specific USA Exposure Investigation

Through direct investigation, CRIF
analysts assess a company’s reliance on US trade, measuring its exposure to
cross-border clients and suppliers to deliver a precise picture of tariff
sensitivity.

The scoring model integrates public trade data, proprietary research,
and CRIF’s structured investigation methodology. Countries and sectors with a
high export share to the US and persistent trade deficits are flagged as having
elevated tariff-related risk.

Navigating
Disruptions, Seizing Opportunity

The Tariff
Impact Assessment Score is part of CRIF’s broader framework to empower
businesses to proactively manage risks and uncover new growth opportunities
across three strategic phases:

·&nbsp;&nbsp;Early Warning (1–3
 months): Monitoring emerging risks through payment delays
 and identifying vulnerable clients or supplier.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Escalation (3–6
 months): Triggering real-time credit alerts and
 supporting contingency planning.

·&nbsp;&nbsp;Adaptation Phase
 (6–12 months): Facilitating portfolio rebalancing, sourcing alternative
 supplier, and identifying new growth opportunities.

Available to CRIF
clients via business information reports, the new Tariff Impact
Assessment Score is especially valuable for multinational corporations,
financial institutions, and export-driven businesses seeking to proactively
manage credit and trade risk in today’s shifting geopolitical landscape.
