Also in September 2019, Fitch Ratings has offered PetroVietnam a standalone credit profile at "bb+", and first-time long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating (IDR) at "BB" with a positive outlook.
PetroVietnam’s IDR is commensurate to that of its parent, the Vietnam sovereign (BB/Positive), under Fitch’s Government-Related Entities Rating Criteria.
The high assessment of prestigious domestic and foreign organisations attest to PetroVietnam’s leading position with stable business performance and finance, as well as its positive future development prospects.
This helps consolidate the trust of investors, domestic and foreign financial institutions, and strategic partners for one of Vietnam's leading conglomerates, laying the groundwork for the company to make further strides into future business development.
