Briefs: ANZ rating, Nine Network funding, and more

• Fitch Ratings has affirmed ANZ's residential-mortgage covered bonds at AAA with a stable outlook, the ratings agency said yesterday.• Australia's four major banks are all willing to lend again to media group Nine Entertainment, according to a Financial Review report. The report said that "sources with knowledge of the situation" had said CBA would be willing to underwrite between A$500 million and $600 million in new loans, and ANZ, Westpac and NAB would each be willing to lend between $100 million and $200 million. However, the report said most debt to the group was likely to come from offshore banks.• Rural lender Rabobank New Zealand got a NZ$110 million (A$86.3 million) capital injection in September, interest.co.nz reported. The online publication extracted the figure from the bank's latest General Disclosure Statement. The extra capital comes ahead of the introduction of the first Basel III rules on January 1, 2013.
