Asset Quality

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Asset Quality
A measure of the likelihood of default of a loan or lease, combined with a measure of its marketability. That is, asset quality is a measure of the price at which a bank or other financial institution can sell a loan or lease to a third party, as determined by the borrower or lessee, especially by a bond issuer. Credit ratings agencies determine credit quality in order to provide bond ratings; they may change these from time to time. FICO scores are measures of the credit quality of individuals.
