KommuneKredit's AAA rating affirmed by Standard & Poor's

The credit rating agency, Standard & Poor’s, has announced its annual credit rating of KommuneKredit in which they affirm the company’s AAA rating. The outlook is stable.

In its credit rating, Standard & Poor’s places special emphasis on:

  • Very high credit quality in the municipal and regional sector, which is expected to continue despite the economic uncertainty in the light of COVID-19.
  • KommuneKredit’s very strong liquidity and funding profile.
  • KommuneKredit’s very strong capitalization.

In connection with the credit rating, the CEO of KommuneKredit, Jens Lundager, says:

“I am very happy that KommuneKredit maintains its AAA rating with Standard & Poor’s – just as expected. In addition, Standard & Poor's has revised upwards their assessment of our liquidity profile, so that it now receives the highest possible assessment thus cementing our AAA rating. Municipalities and regions can count on us always being able to provide attractive conditions of financing and support their necessary investments, also when it comes to the green transition."

KommuneKredit

KommuneKredit is a Danish special-purpose credit institution, providing funding for the local growth and green transition in municipalities and regions across Denmark.

KommuneKredit is an association with sustainability at its core and a strong ESG profile. Our member base consists of all Danish municipal and regional authorities. Our guarantee structure and safe business model have secured us a premium credit rating (AAA) (Aaa).

That is why we can offer municipalities and regions instant and uncomplicated access to financing of projects large or small and at the lowest possible cost. With equal opportunities and terms for all – across the entire country.

That is how it has been since 1899, when KommuneKredit first disbursed a loan. And that is the way it is today, as our dedicated employees advise on and arrange more than 2,000 loans every year.

When investors buy our bonds, we can disburse loans for purposes ranging from energy renovation of a local sports centre to the purchase of a new eco-friendly hybrid ferry, or the establishment of more sustainable district heating systems across the country.

For the benefit of ordinary citizens, for our local communities, and for an even greener future.
