Questions about the Montenegro score
- What does a score of 52.8 mean for Montenegro?
- 52.8/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 2.8 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Montenegro's central bank has already done, said and delivered.
- How often is Montenegro's score updated?
- Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-07 run. There is no reading from seven days ago to set this one against. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-07 figure outright rather than revising it in place.
- What is the 50–65 credibility band?
- Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Montenegro clears its 50 floor by 2.8 and stops 12.2 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
