The revision of the outlook follows that on the Bulgarian sovereign rating on February 19, informs BTA.

Bulgarian Development Bank’s Long-term Issuer Rating is equalized with the Bulgarian sovereign rating (BBB/ Positive) to reflect a high probability of support from the Bulgarian sovereign, in case of need.
