Our earlier coverage of Fitch’s rating on Hainan Rubber’s proposed subordinated perpetual securities explained why the notes were graded below the issuer rating, focusing on their junior ranking in the capital structure and the option to defer coupons. We also highlighted Fitch’s view of the group’s high leverage and liquidity position, and the role of state-linked support and stable funding access in underpinning the overall credit profile.
