The credit rating has been upgraded primarily due to an improvement in the assessment of the business profile as a result of the Bank’s approval of a new Development Strategy for the period up to 2026.
Under the new Strategy, the Bank will focus on supporting international supply chains in line with the needs of member countries, providing a full range of trade support tools to the corporate sector and financial institutions. IBEC target business model defines the Bank's main strategic priorities as supporting foreign trade operations between Vietnam, Mongolia and Russia, as well as developing operations in new regions, the most promising of which is South and East Asia.
In addition to the business profile assessment, the credit rating of the International Bank for Economic Co-operation is determined by such factors as strong capital adequacy and adequate assessment of funding and liquidity.
According to the results of the first half of 2024, the Bank's net profit indicator was positive. The average quality of assets remains quite high, while the share of debt overdue by more than 90 days is low. The amount of highly liquid assets as of the end of the first half of 2024 significantly exceeded the volume of short-term liabilities.

• ‘ААА(RU)’/‘A-’ from ACRA with a stable outlook (29/01/2025)
