China Jinjiang Environment
China Jinjiang Environment said Friday that S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on the company to positive from negative and affirmed its issuer rating of BB-minus.
That was due to state-owned Zheneng Group’s acquisition of 29.79 percent of China Jinjiang’s shares, which S&P said could lower funding costs and potentially lead to a rating upgrade, the waste-to-energy company said in a separate statement Monday.
“The positive outlook by S&P Global Ratings is a strong vote of confidence and recognition of Zheneng Group’s entry into Jinjiang Environment as the largest controlling shareholder,” Zhang Chao, executive director and CEO of China Jinjiang Environment said in the statement Monday.
“We remain committed in maintaining financial prudence in our business expansion while leveraging on our new controlling shareholder’s financial resources and credit strength to reinforce our leading position in the WTE industry,” Zhang said.
