Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a Baa2 rating to ICICI Bank’s proposed AUD denominated senior unsecured notes, issued under its $5 billion Global Medium Term Note (GMTN) program. The drawdown is from its Bahrain branch. The bonds have maturity of 5 years and will be listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX-ST).
The senior debt rating is subject to receipt of final documentation, the terms and conditions of which are not expected to change in any material way from the draft documents reviewed by Moody’s.
The Baa2 senior unsecured debt rating is anchored on ICICI's baa3 baseline credit assessment (BCA) and the high likelihood of systemic support in the event of a crisis. The Baa2 rating is at the same level as the foreign currency debt ceiling for India. The bank’s foreign currency deposit ratings of Baa3/P-3 are constrained by the sovereign ceiling.
ICICI Bank is India's largest private sector bank and the second largest bank in the country, with consolidated total assets of $122 billion at December 31, 2012. The Bank’s presence currently spans 19 countries, including India.
