Moody’s downgrades Aktia’s ratings and upgrades outlook to stable

The credit rating agency Moody’s Investors Service has on 26 September 2022 decided to downgrade Aktia Bank Plc’s long-term deposit and senior unsecured debt ratings to A2 from A1 and changed the outlook to stable from negative. Furthermore, the rating agency downgraded the Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and adjusted BCA to baa1, from a3. All short-term ratings and assessment were affirmed at P-1.

According to Moody’s release, the downgrade reflects a multiyear trend of declining capital metrics, mainly due to lending growth, high dividend payout ratios as well as the goodwill created by the acquisition of Taaleri Asset Management during the second quarter of 2021.

Moody’s release is available at www.aktia.com: Investors > Debt & Funding > Rating.
