Fitch Ratings upgrades JSC NC KazMunayGas’s rating to “BBB”, outlook “Stable”
23.06.2023
22 June, 2023, Fitch Ratings has upgraded JSC NC KazMunayGas’s (KMG) long-term issuer default rating from “BBB-” to “BBB”, outlook “Stable”.
The upgrade is driven by an upward revision of the KMG’s standalone credit profile from “bb-” to “bb” due to material deleveraging, consolidation contribution of KMG Kashagan B.V. and high level of state support.
As a result of the revision, KMG’s rating is now equalised with the sovereign rating of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
