Pyne Gould Corp.'s MARAC Finance unit gained approval for its commercial paper to be used as security under the central bank's domestic market operations.

MARAC's CPs, rated A-1+, are the first asset-backed securities to be approved under the facility, giving institutional investors more liquidity.

"MARAC is run in a very conservative manner, and diversification of both our funding and lending businesses is a key feature of this strategy," the company said in a statement,

Shares of Pyne Gould were unchanged at $2.40. They dropped on Friday after the company said it would post a first-half loss after MARAC called on a $25 million underwriting facility to cover impaired property loans.
