Credit-Rating Revises a Number of Bank Deposit Ratings
Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today announced that it revised a number of bank deposit ratings (‘BDR’) previously assigned to Ukrainian banks.
Basing on the current data, which reflect performance of the banks, Credit-Rating has affirmed bank deposit ratings at their current levels. In the period under analysis the agency suspended 1 BDR.
The majority of the banks (27) represent average strength of deposits bearing rating ‘3’. The BDR of ‘5’ (the highest strength) is assigned to 7 institutions, with the number of banks carrying rating ’4’ (high strength) recorded at 15. The strength of deposits in 5 banks is below average carrying rating ‘2’.
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 18 banking institutions. The rest of the ratings will be published once the approval from a bank has been received.
The bank deposit ratings have dynamic nature and may be revised following events and/or changes in indicators of bank’s performance, which may affect the bank’s capacity for making 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, specifically of regulator’s policy affecting the banking sector, and willingness and ability of the state or owners for furnishing necessary backing to the corresponding institution.
Information on all credit ratings assigned in accordance with the National Rating Scale may be found in REUTERS and BLOOMBERG information systems.
