Fitch Ratings has revised the outlook on Bulgarian Development Bank’s Long-term Issuer Rating to Positive from Stable and affirmed the Long-Term IDR and Support Rating Floor at “BBB”, announced the international credit rating agency. The revision of the outlook follows that on the Bulgarian sovereign rating on February 19, informs BTA.

Bulgarian Development Bank’s Long-term Issuer Rating is equalized with the Bulgarian sovereign rating (BBB/ Positive) to reflect a high probability of support from the Bulgarian sovereign, in case of need. The strong incentive to support the Bulgarian Development Bank is mainly driven by the state’s almost full ownership of the bank and material funding from or guaranteed by the state, Fitch Ratings further informs.
