Credit Opinion

Factors that could lead to an upgrade

The bank exhibits a significant improvement in its asset quality and loss absorption buffer

Factors that could lead to a downgrade

(1) there is material deterioration in its asset quality through continued increases in either the formation rate of new problem loans or credit concentration in high-risk segments and/or large borrowers; or
(2) the bank’s loss absorption capacity weakens substantially, for example its TCE/ RWA falls below 9% or its ROAA falls below 0.7%; or
(3) we view the bank’s vulnerability to liquidity risks increases through further increases in reliance on short-term market funds and insufficient liquid assets to serve as a liquidity buffer. 

Strengths

(1) track record of success in strengthening and maintaining its low-cost deposit funding base, largely supported by its digital capabilities;
(2) Strong profitability given strategic focus on higher-yielding customer segments coupled with robust credit growth and a strong funding profile

Challenges

(1) rising problem loans from retail and SME borrowers;
(2) Credit concentration to large corporate borrowers and vulnerability to large single-name credit events and sizable credit losses
