The stable outlook on ratings reflects Moody‘s analysts’ expectation that capitalization and profitability will remain sound in the next 12-18 months, while asset risk will stay stable. The stable outlook also reflects analyst’s expectation that improvements in the bank’s funding profile and sound liquidity level will support ambitious growth targets.

Moody‘s also affirmed baa3 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA), A3/P-2 long and short-term Counterparty Risk Ratings (CRR), and A3(cr)/P-2(cr) long and short-term Counterparty Risk Assessments (CRA).
