Credit Opinion

Factors that could lead to an upgrade

(1) the firm raises new capital to strengthen its loss-absorption buffers, for example, its leverage ratio drops to 2.3x on a sustainable basis, or 
(2) MBB’s standalone credit profile improves substantially, and in turn, increases its capacity to provide support to MBS in times of need

Factors that could lead to a downgrade

(1) it increases its holdings of high-risk assets substantially, heightening the likelihood of balance sheet losses and a significant deterioration of the firm’s loss absorption buffer; or 
(2) the firm becomes increasingly vulnerable to liquidity risks, for example, liquid assets decline substantially and may not sufficient to cover its short-term obligations; or 
(3) we assess MBB's capacity or willingness to support to have fallen substantially

Strengths

(1) strong profitability mainly driven by its higher-than-industry lending yields and net interest margins (NIM)
(2) higher than the industry-average capital level

Challenges

(1) asset risk from fast-growing retail and SME loan portfolio and a material increase in retail and SME loan delinquencies
