The IIB was founded in 1970 and has as its current shareholders Bulgaria, Cuba, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mongolia, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Vietnam. The Bank has undergone major modernisation since late 2012 and is rated 'BBB' (outlook stable) by S&P, 'Baa1' (outlook stable) by Moody’s, 'BBB' (outlook stable) by Fitch and 'A' (outlook stable) by Dagong.
