롯데지주, 여전한 재무 부담 속 공모채 시장 복귀

Lotte Holdings, the holding company of the Lotte Group, is returning to the public bond market for the first time in 2 years. This is due to the downgrade of its credit rating last year, as a result of the poor performance of its major affiliate Lotte Chemical. However, the financial risks of its affiliates remain a concern, and the bond issuance is aimed at reducing interest rate burdens by converting short-term borrowings into long-term debt. The company's credit rating and financial stability will continue to be closely watched by investors and credit rating agencies.
