Fitch Ratings has affirmed ICICI Bank's Long-Term Foreign Currency (FC) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with a Stable Outlook, Short-Term (ST) FC IDR at 'F3', and Support Rating Floor at 'BBB-'.
The affirmation reflects the bank’s steady progress in areas of funding and asset quality and is supported by its robust capitalization levels and strong domestic franchise. The bank’s Support rating and Support Rating Floor reflect its systemic importance, implying a high probability of regulatory support, in the event of a crisis. The ratings of the company’s hybrid instruments are based on Fitch's criteria.
ICICI's liability-focused strategy has resulted in a considerable improvement in its funding mix with a low cost current savings deposit ratio of 45.1% in FY11 (FY10: 41.7%; FY08: 26.1%). In FY11, contribution from the bank's top 20 depositors also nearly halved compared to the previous year, thus resulting in significantly reduced concentration risk. This further reflects its lower dependence on volatile bulk deposits and in turn also provides better manoeuvrability in managing funding costs.
The Bank’s profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by 29.85% at Rs 1332.20 crore as compared to Rs 1025.98 crore for the corresponding quarter last year. Its total income grown by 23.60% at Rs 9261.41 crore for the quarter under review from Rs 7493.05 crore for the same quarter last year.
