Moody s Investors Service maintains Latvijas Hipotēku un zemes banka s long-term foreign currency rating at the Baa3 level


On 22 June 2011 Moody’s Investors Service confirmed the State-owned JCS Mortgage and Land Bank of Latvia (Mortgage Bank) long-term foreign currency deposit rating at Baa3, the short-term rating at Prime-3 and financial strength rating at E+, the outlook on all the ratings is stable.

As a positive aspect in keeping long-term foreign currency deposit rating at the same level Moody’s notes the fact that the Mortgage bank is wholly owned by the Latvian government and the Mortgage bank’s role as a contributor of state funds to the SME sector.
