Moody’s has confirmed the following ratings to the Armenia's Ameriabank CJSC:
- B1 long-term and Not-Prime short-term local currency bank deposit ratings
- B2 long-term and NP short-term foreign-currency bank deposit ratings,
- Ba3 long-term and NP short-term Counterparty Risk Ratings (CRRs).
The bank's long-term local-currency deposit rating of B1 carries a positive outlook, driven by the positive outlook on the B1 government debt rating.
At the same time, the bank's long-term foreign-currency deposit rating of B2 is constrained by Armenia's foreign-currency deposit ceiling and carries a stable outlook.
The B1 long-term local currency deposit rating incorporates its b1 BCA, which reflects its
- diversified business profile and strong domestic market positions;
- improved asset quality indicators and good loss-absorption capacity, as illustrated by its robust capital buffers, good profitability and adequate problem loan coverage; and
- sufficient liquidity and diversified funding base.
