| 7 | Government guarantee |
No state guarantee. Excerpt from Moody's statement: NMC's ratings incorporate our assumption of a "very high" probability of support from the Government of Armenia, although the latter does not lead to any rating uplift as NMC's standalone assessment is already positioned on par with the government rating. Moody's "very high" government support assumption is based on the current full ownership of NMC by CBA, its public policy role supporting the development of Armenia's housing finance market, and track record of government support in terms of capital increases and the extension of funding lines. |
