Expected credit rating rationale. The issue represents senior unsecured debt of the Eurasian Development Bank (hereinafter, EDB). Due to the absence of either structural or contractual subordination of the issue, ACRA regards it pari passu with other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of EDB in terms of priority. According to ACRA’s methodology, the credit rating of the issue is equivalent to that of EDB, i.e. AAA(RU), therefore the expected rating is eAAA(RU).
EDB’s credit quality is based on high member-state support, high capital adequacy, a satisfactory risk profile, and adequate liquidity and funding.
