Regulation of rates of changes in the rating of 2 banks

 

The regulation of interest rates and other aspects of the Financial Services Act 393 changed the outlook for risk ratings of Banco Solidario (BancoSol) and Bank Fortaleza.
The impact of regulation changed the trend "Stable" to "Negative" on both banks.
In the case of BancoSol, the rating agency EASA Ratings, associated with Fitch Ratings in its latest report announced that September 30 "changed the outlook to 'Negative' from 'Stable' of risk ratings assigned Short Term Local Currency and Foreign Currency Long-Term Local Currency and Foreign Currency Issuer and Banco Solidario SA, based on the financial statements at June 30, 2014. "
Changing the perspective of this entity is based in today's challenging regulatory environment, which in the opinion of EFSA Ratings adversely affect the bank, as its strategy, niche market and current target portfolio will struggle to meet quotas on loans.
Furthermore, "the regulation of rates will affect your financial spread (the difference between the rates for loans and deposits) and its performance in the medium term, which would mean less chance of capitalization," says the report.
According to EASA Ratings, operating income of the entity are significantly dependent on net interest income (97.8%), which exposes the bank to risks from changes in interest rates and the performance of the loan portfolio of credits.
"The regulation of lending and deposit rates and lending quotas in some areas, due to the regulation of the Financial Services Act, Banco Solidario negatively influence their peers and concentrates solely on revenues from performing loans."
In another report, issued on September 30, EASA Ratings also changed the outlook from "Stable" to "Negative" from risk ratings assigned Short Term Local Currency and Foreign Currency Long-Term Local Currency and Foreign Currency Issuer and Fortress Bank SA, based on its financial statements to 30 June 2014.
