RPT-Correction: Fitch Affirms QTC's Commonwealth Backed Securities at 'AAA' Apr 9th 2013, 08:05 Tue Apr 9, 2013 4:05am EDT (Repeat for additional subscribers) April 9 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the rating agency) This announcement corrects the version published on 08 April 2013 to include the rating assignment of a new bond. A correct version is as follows: Fitch Ratings has assigned Queensland Treasury Corporation's (QTC) AUD4.6bn guaranteed June 2019 bond a 'AAA' rating. It has also affirmed QTC's senior unsecured rating and the rest of its outstanding guaranteed bonds at 'AAA'. A list of affected issues can be found below. KEY RATING DRIVERS The affirmation of the guaranteed senior unsecured debt rating reflects the affirmation of the Commonwealth of Australia at 'AAA' on 28 March 2013. The affirmed outstanding bonds and the newly rated bond benefit from a guarantee of the Commonwealth of Australia. QTC is a funding vehicle wholly owned by the State of Queensland (AA/Stable). RATING SENSITIVITIES The ratings of the Commonwealth of Australia-backed securities are linked to the ratings of the sovereign. A downgrade of the Long-term Issuer Default Rating of the Commonwealth of Australia will result in a downgrade of QTC's guaranteed senior unsecured debt rating.
