Robinsons Land Corporation, one of the country’s leading property developers, is planning to raise up to P15 billion from a bond issuance representing the initial tranche of its P30 billion shelf-registered bonds.

Philippine Rating Services Corporation (PhilRatings) has assigned its highest Issue Credit Rating of PRS Aaa, with a Stable Outlook, for the proposed bonds.

Obligations rated PRS Aaa are of the highest quality with minimal credit risk and the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. A Stable Outlook means the rating is likely to remain unchanged in the next twelve months.
