Fitch lifts Taiwan Cooperative Bills

Fitch Ratings said it upgraded the long-term issuer default rating of Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corp. to A from A-.

The agency also said it upgraded the national long-term ratings of the company and Taiwan Cooperative Securities Co., Ltd. to AA+(twn) from AA(twn).

The outlook is stable.

The companies benefit from the extremely high probability of support from sole parent – Taiwan Cooperative Financial Holding Co., Ltd., Fitch explained.

The upgrades reflect the increased financial flexibility that the Taiwan sovereign has to support state-controlled banks, the agency said.

The upgrades also consider the banks’ enhanced credit strength from stronger state support, Fitch said.
