TBC Bank Group PLC announces TBC Bank's rating upgrade by Moody's

TBC Bank Group PLC announces that on 10 December 2020, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has upgraded JSC TBC Bank's ("TBC Bank") foreign-currency deposit rating to Ba2 from Ba3, with a stable outlook.

The rating action was driven by the changes in the local currency (LC) and foreign currency (FC) country ceilings under Moody's updated Local and Foreign Currency Country Ceilings for Bonds and Other Obligations Methodology published on 7 December 2020.

As a result of the methodology change, FC ceilings as applied to FC deposits were raised in Georgia, resulting in upgrades of FC deposit rating of JSC TBC Bank.
