Alþjóðlega lánshæfismatsfyrirtækið S&P Global Ratings (S&P) hefur í dag lækkað lánshæfismat Íslandsbanka í BBB/A-2 úr BBB+/A-2 og jafnframt breytt horfum í stöðugar úr neikvæðum.Í rökstuðningi sínum býst S&P við því að Íslandsbanki sé í mun sterkari stöðu nú en árið 2008. Lánshæfismatið ‘BBB’ taki mið af stöðugri markaðshlutdeild Íslandsbanka á innlendum markaði og góðum árangri á sviði stafrænnar þróunar og upplýsingatækni. Álit S&P sé að bankinn standi framar en margir erlendir bankar þegar kemur að undirbúningi fyrir samkeppni við fjártæknifyrirtæki. Bankinn sé ennfremur með sterka lausa- og eiginfjárstöðu, endurfjármögnunarþörf bankans takmörkuð á árinu 2020 og þar að auki hafi Seðlabankinn sett á stofn sérstaka tímabundna lánafyrirgreiðslu sem tryggir aðgengi að lausafé.Ástæður breytingar S&P...
