xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Good positioning in the Portuguese retail banking market, due to a successful growth strategy; Sound and resilient asset quality track record throughout the economic cycle; Adequate and fairly consistent operating profitability, even in times of economic stress; and Continuous efficiency improvements. A modest capital position, particularly after a downward adjustment for pension costs pending recognition; A high level of risk concentration by individual borrower; Market risk arising from long-term equity holdings, which are, however, lower than in previous years; and Still modest, but improving, prospects for economic growth in Portugal. The ratings on Banco BPI S.A. (BPI) are supported by the bank's good positioning in Portugal, skilled management, good asset-quality track record, and adequate, fairly stable financial performance.
