The rating reflects the  bank's strong franchise value, sound contro ls, robust profitability and asset quality,  but also the challenges associated with  its difficult operating environment and  rapid evolution.  Moody's believes that the probability of shareholder and systemic support for  Acleda is high, which results in a one notch lift in its long-term global-scale local  currency (GLC) deposit rating to Ba# from the Ba# baseline credit assessment.   The bank s foreign currency deposit an d issuer ratings are constrained by  Cambodia s sovereign deposit and debt ceilings at B# and B# respectively.  The outlook for all the ratings is stable at present. The BFSR is underpinned by the  bank s increasing maturity and improved fund ing that offset what are likely to be  decreased risk-adjusted returns (i) due to  increasing competition and (ii)...
