(Repeat for additional subscribers)
July 31 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Fitch Ratings has assigned Vnesheconombank's (VEB; BBB/Stable/F3) RUB20bn senior unsecured exchange bonds series BO-01, due in July 2016, a Long-term local currency rating of 'BBB'.
The bonds have a put option in July 2015. The coupon rate of the first two years has been set at 7.65%.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
VEB's ratings are driven by a high probability of support from the Russian sovereign (BBB/Stable/F3), due to its sole ownership by the state, its status as a national development bank, the special legal regime, the directed nature of some operations and the significant amount of funding and capital provided by the state.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
An upgrade/downgrade of Russia will warrant a similar rating action on VEB.
