Fitch Ratings Upgrades Bulgarian Development Bank’s Credit Rating to ‘BBB+’
Fitch Ratings has upgraded the long-term credit rating of the Bulgarian Development Bank (BDB) from 'BBB' to 'BBB+', assigning it a stable outlook
The Council of Ministers has proposed that Parliament ratify a guarantee for the EUR 100 M withdrawn by the Bulgarian Development Bank (BDB) from Germany’s KfW, reported the government’s press centre.
The credit contract is part of a series of loans of BDB with which it secures funds from international banks for the implementation of the National Energy Efficiency Programme for multi-family residential buildings.
The ratification of the guarantee, payable on first demand, is a precondition for the granting of the funds.
The option of issuing a guarantee has been stipulated in the State Budget Act for 2016.
