This paper uses the structural models methodology to estimate the credit risk for the Romanian companies that are listed at the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Under the new Basel Capital Accord that is also spreading to the capital markets, financial institutions are allowed to report using internal ratings. We present a methodology for computing the probabilities of default on the Romanian capital, which constitutes the first part of the development of a rating system based on market values.
