A rating of PrivatBank reflects including that government support was insufficient
Agency Fitch downgraded long-term Issuer default rating in foreign currency PrivatBank from “CCC” to “RD” (restricted default).
About it with reference to the news Agency, reports “Business”.
The Agency noted that the basis for this decision was the statement of the national Bank on the participation of related and unsecured creditors in a Bank in recapitalization through the conversion of Bank liabilities into equity.
A rating of PrivatBank reflects including that state support was insufficient to prevent losses for creditors, and therefore it cannot be relied in the future.
