Credit-Rating revises a number of bank deposit ratings
Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today announced that it changed a number of banks deposit ratings (‘BDRs’) as follows: 1 BDR has been upgraded to ‘4’ (high strength), 1 BDR has been withdrawn and 2 BDRs have been suspended. Other BDRs have been affirmed.
The majority of the banks assigned BDRs exhibit average strength of their deposits rated ‘3’. The BDR ‘5’ (the highest strength) is assigned to 8 institutions, with the banks rated ‘4’ (high strength) being 12 in number. The reliability of deposits in 1 bank is below average rated ‘2’ (low strength).
The Credit-Rating’s methodology envisages a constant monitoring of the financial state of institutions and regular revision of their ratings. The information on current BDRs, no which Credit-Rating obtained bank’s approval for publication may be found in the agency’s web-site. As of today, the information on their BDRs was approved for publishing by 17 banking institutions. The rest of the ratings will be published once the approval from a bank has been received.
The bank deposit ratings are dynamic and may be revised following events and/or changes in indicators of bank’s performance, which may affect the bank’s capacity to make timely and full payments on its deposits. Further change of the rating is contingent upon bank’s capacity to maintain its indicators on a sufficient level under adverse economic environment in the country. The rating is also considerably affected by changes in operating environment, namely regulator’s policy affecting the banking sector, and willingness and ability of the state or owners to furnish necessary backing to the institution.
Information on all credit ratings assigned in accordance with the National Rating Scale may be found in REUTERS and BLOOMBERG information systems.
