S&P rates SME bond BBB+

Standard & Poor's said it assigned its BBB+ issue credit rating to an RUB 5 billion bond to be placed by SME Bank on Aug. 23.

The bonds have a 10-year maturity and a fixed coupon paid semi-annually.

The agency said the rating on the bonds is equalized with the long-term local currency issuer credit rating on the bank.

S&P said the ratings on SME Bank reflect its view that the bank is a core subsidiary to its 100% owner, Vnesheconombank, a government-related entity with an almost certain likelihood of support from the Russian Federation.
