Credit rating agency -- Brickwork Ratings has downgraded the rating of Yes Bank’s Lower Tier II Bonds, from ‘AA-’ to ‘A’, and of Upper Tier II Bonds, Hybrid Tier I Bonds and Innovative Perpetual Debt Instruments from ‘A+’ to ‘A-’. The outlook to continue as negative.
The Rating downgrade necessarily factors in the Bank’s higher levels of slippages to NPA in Q1 and Q2 of FY20 and its expectation to continue at similar high levels for the ensuing two quarters of FY20, bank’s substantial exposure to sensitive sectors, groups and accounts, the uncertainties over raising adequate capital and maintain the capital adequacy ratios above the minimum regulatory requirement as of March 31, 2020 are the other key constraints.
The outlook to continue as negative considering the risk of continuing weakness in asset quality and to monitor the capital raising plans of the bank to provide cushion to absorb any increase in risk weighted assets and assist credit growth.
Yes Bank is engaged in providing banking services, including corporate and institutional banking, financial markets, investment banking, corporate finance, branch banking, business and transaction banking, and wealth management.
