Rai wants a "quality seal". The newspaper La Repubblica writes today, explaining that Viale Mazzini, with the accounts in balance and after the excellent results of the listing of Rai Way, is now aiming for a rating from specialized agencies such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
But why does Rai seek an evaluation from the rating agencies? According to the Roman newspaper, with a positive rating the company will present itself on the market by issuing a bond from 150 to 200 millions of euros. Amount that will be used to make the "adjustment plan" of its real estate assets, from viale Mazzini (Rome) to via Cernaia (Turin) without forgetting the former Dear studios in the Nomentano district of Rome.
The general manager of Rai, Luigi gubitosi, explained to Repubblica the reasons that are leading to these decisions: "The ECB, which injects capital into the economies of our countries, creates unrepeatable, extraordinary conditions for applying for a loan".
Rai imagines borrowing for 7 years at an interest rate of 2%, much lower than what banks have applied in the last 10 years.
