LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency UK Limited (KBRA) releases research on restructured loan portfolio performance in Ireland, which is expected to remain positive with a supportive environment for restructured borrowers.

KBRA has been active in rating portfolios of restructured loans in European securitisation markets.
