Lianhe Ratings Global Limited (“Lianhe Global”) has assigned ‘BBB-’ global scale Long-term Issuer Credit Rating with Stable Outlook to Taixing Runjia Holdings Ltd. (“TRH” or “the company”)
The Issuer Credit Rating reflects a high possibility that the People’s Government of Taixing City (“Taixing government”) would provide strong support to TRH if needed, in light of its indirect majority ownership of TRH, TRH’s strategic importance as an important local investment and development company (“LIDC”) that is responsible for infrastructure construction, area development and state-owned asset operation and management in Taixing City (“Taixing”), especially in the Taixing Economic Development Zone (“Taixing EDZ”), and the linkage between the Taixing government and TRH, 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 Taixing government may face significant negative impact on its reputation and financing activities if TRH encounters any operational and financial difficulties.
The Stable Outlook reflects our expectation that TRH’s strategic importance would remain intact while the Taixing government will continue to ensure TRH’s stable operation.
