The international rating agency Fitch Ratings affirmed the rating of BELEXIMGARANT at 'B' with a stable outlook, BELTA reports with a reference to the agency's press release.

As Fitch Ratings noted, the rating "reflects systemic importance of the company as a national export credit agency and 100% state ownership", the agency wrote.

Among factors that could adversely affect the company's creditworthiness, Fitch underlined the impact of coronavirus pandemic, a significant portfolio of insurance risks of default on credit obligations within the country, reduced motor insurance for travelling abroad under Green Card policies as a result of a decrease in cross-border traffic and the Belarusian ruble drop against dollar and euro.
