About S&P Credit Research

Abstract:

The ratings on U.K. bank Northern Rock PLC primarily reflect its 100% ownership by the U.K. government. In accordance with our rating criteria for government-related entities (see "Rating Government-Related Entities: A Primer," published on June 14, 2006), Standard&Poor's Ratings Services does not equalize the ratings on Northern Rock with the sovereign ratings on the U.K. (AAA/Stable/A-1+) because it is a commercial institution with no public policy role, and the government intends to sell it in the future. Northern Rock has moderate systemic importance according to our methodology, and was supported by the government to maintain confidence in the U.K. banking system. Northern Rock's priorities are to shrink its balance sheet, repay its government loan, and build stand-alone funding
