Fitch places BOV ratings under criteria observation
03:37pm, Wednesday, 17'th Nov 2021 The Malta Independent
Fitch Ratings has placed certain ratings of four EMEA banks Under Criteria Observation (UCO), following the publication of its updated Bank Rating Criteria on 12 November 2021. The banks are Bank of Valletta, Credit Europe Bank (Russia) Ltd, ProCredit Bank AD Skopje and UniCredit Bulbank AD. "The support-driven Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of ProCredit Bank AD Skopje (BBB-/Negative/F3) and UniCredit Bulbank (BBB-/Stable/F3) are unaffected," Fitch said. Fitch will review all affected ratings as soon as practical, but no later than six months from the publication of the updated criteria. Key rating drivers "The updated criteria introduce changes to the way we assign Viability Ratings (VRs), which measure a bank''s intrinsic creditworthiness. The criteria include a fixed weighting scheme to derive an implied VR from the bank''s scores for each key rating driver," Fitch said. "We may then assign a VR higher or lower than the VR implied by the weighting of the key rating drivers scores in the following three cases: - We may assign the VR at a lower level than the implied VR where we believe the implied VR is too high relative to the operating-environment score or the sovereign rating; - We may assign the VR at a higher or lower level than the implied VR when a bank''s business profile and/or risk profile may have a stronger impact on the assigned VR than the weighting would suggest; - We may assign the VR at a lower level than the implied VR when one or more financial key rating drivers (asset quality, earnings & profitability, capitalisation & leverage, and funding & liquidity) represent a bank''s ''weakest link''.
