Moody's rates Kexim debt Aa3

Moody's Investors Service said it assigned an Aa3 rating to The Export-Import Bank of Korea's proposed $300 million senior unsecured debt issuance due 2009 under its registered shelf program.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings incorporate Moody's rating methodology for government-related issuers, reflecting Korea's local-currency's deposit ceiling Aa1, high dependence and high support.

Kexim's Aa3 debt rating pierces Korea's country ceiling for foreign-currency debt and is determined by Kexim's local-currency rating, Korea's A3 foreign-currency government bond rating, Korea's A1 country ceiling for bonds and the debt's eligibility to pierce the ceiling, Moody's said.
