Credit rating rationale. The issue represents senior unsecured debt of International Bank for Economic Co-operation (hereinafter, IBEC). 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 IBEC in terms of priority. According to ACRA’s methodology, the credit rating of the issue is equivalent to that of IBEC, i.e. AAA(RU), therefore the rating is AAA(RU).
IBEC’s issuer rating is based on its strong intrinsic financial strengths that stem from strong capital adequacy, a satisfactory risk profile, and adequate liquidity and funding.
