Lianhe Ratings Global Limited (“Lianhe Global”) has assigned ‘BBB’ global scale Long-term Issuer Credit Rating with Stable Outlook to Feicheng City Assets Management Group Co., Ltd. (“FCAMG” or “the company”)
The Issuer Credit Rating reflects a high possibility that the People’s Government of Feicheng City, Taian City (“Feicheng government”) would provide very strong support to FCAMG if needed, in light of its indirect full ownership of FCAMG, FCAMG’s strategic importance as the important local investment and development company (“LIDC”) that is responsible for major infrastructure construction and water operation in Feicheng City, Taian City (“Feicheng”), (“Taian”), and the linkage between the Feicheng government and FCAMG, including appointment and supervision of the senior management, strategic alignment, major investment and financing plan decisions and ongoing operational and financial support. In addition, the Feicheng government may face significant negative impact on its reputation and financing activities if FCAMG encounters any operational and financial difficulties.
The Stable Outlook reflects our expectation that FCAMG’s strategic importance would remain intact while the Feicheng government will continue to ensure FCAMG’s stable operation.
