In our view, there is an almost certain likelihood that Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI), the holding company that manages the Spanish government's industrial shares, would receive timely and sufficient extraordinary support from the Spanish government if needed. We therefore equalize our issuer credit ratings on SEPI with those on Spain. We are affirming our 'A/A-1' ratings on the company. The stable outlook on SEPI mirrors the outlook on Spain. On Oct. 22, 2019, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'A' long-term and 'A-1' short-term issuer credit ratings on the Spanish government's holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI). The outlook is stable. We equalize our ratings on SEPI with those on Spain (unsolicited; A/Stable/A-1). This reflects our opinion
