Standard & Poor’s downgrades Arion Bank’s long term credit rating to BBB but revised the outlook from negative to stable

Standard & Poor’s has downgraded Arion Bank’s long term credit rating from BBB+ to BBB but revised the outlook from negative to stable.
 
Main comments from Standard & Poor’s:

  • The global recession expected in 2020 due to COVID-19 will affect the open and concentrated Icelandic economy and its banks, despite a substantial government package to counteract the effects. It will also exacerbate some of the Icelandic banking industry´s weaknesses.
  • The 'BBB' rating level and stable outlook factor in the solid market position of the bank in Iceland, which has a relatively advanced digitalized banking platform. In S&P’s view, the bank is well ahead of many other European banks in its preparation for technological disruption.
  • The stable outlook indicates that S&P expects the bank to withstand the consequences of the looming economic recession by maintaining solid capital position and comfortable funding and liquidity profiles
