Cbonds.info Moody's assigns negative outlooks to KBC Bank & KBC Group's ratings; Absolut Bank's ratings and outlook affirmed 14.02.2008
[ Moody's will continue to monitor potential impairments in KBC's CDO
portfolio given the portfolio's sensitivity to developments on the RMBS,
structured finance CDO and corporate CDO markets.
Moody's acknowledges KBC's predominantly retail focus. Nonetheless, given
the current volatile market environment and KBC's history of acquisitions
in riskier countries, such as last year's acquisition of Absolut Bank in
Russia, Moody's will continue to assess the appropriateness of KBC's
capital adequacy going forward.
Importantly, Moody's said that it considers a minimum of 8% Tier 1 ratio
(on a Basle 1 basis) as appropriate for KBC Bank to remain within its
present rating category. The bank's capitalisation will continue to be a
key rating driver for the bank. If the Tier-1 ratio were to fall below
the 8% threshold for an extended period of time, the bank's ratings would
be under further negative pressure. ]
