Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group has received its first debt ratings from international credit agencies.
Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings rated the notes at investment grade "A-plus", while Moody's Investor Service assigned an equivalent "A1" rating.
The ratings have been issued as part of Alibaba's plan to issue unsecured notes to raise some $8 billion.
The company said it will use the new funding to refinance its current debt, which reportedly stands at around $11 billion.
