Brief Excerpt:

...On 16 June 2020, we upgraded Ukreximbank's local-currency deposit rating to B3 from Caa1 and changed the outlook on its deposit ratings to stable from positive, following the upgrade of the Government of Ukraine's rating (B3 stable). Concurrently, we downgraded the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) to caa2 from caa1 to reflect a significant deterioration in its capital position following large losses reported in the first quarter of 2020. Ukreximbank's B3 long-term local-currency deposit rating incorporates a two-notch uplift from the bank's BCA of caa2, given a very high probability of support from the government. Ukreximbank's BCA also reflects the high interlinks between the bank's standalone asset quality and the sovereign's creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt and bonds guaranteed by the state (47% of the bank's assets or 7x-8x of the bank's equity); its weak profitability and capitalisation; high level of liquid assets (over 50% of total...

Ukreximbank: Update to credit analysis - Credit Opinion – 2021/06/25 – US$ 250.00 – ...We assign local- and foreign-currency long-term deposit ratings of B3 to Ukreximbank. The ratings are based on the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) of caa1 and incorporate a one-notch uplift based on a very high probability of government support from the Government of Ukraine (B3 stable). Ukreximbank's BCA reflects the high interlinks between the bank's standalone asset quality and the sovereign's creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt, its weak profitability and high reliance on market funding offset by ample liquidity....

Ukreximbank: Update following upgrade of foreign-currency deposit rating to B3, outlook remains stable - Credit Opinion – 2020/12/17 – US$ 250.00 – ...On 10 December 2020, we upgraded the long-term foreign-currency (FC) deposit rating of Ukreximbank to B3 from Caa1. The upgrade was driven by the change in the FC deposit ceiling of Ukraine (B3 stable) following the publication of our updated Country Ceilings Methodology. Ukreximbank's long-term deposit ratings incorporate a one-notch uplift based on the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) of caa1, which reflects a very high probability of government support. The bank's FC subordinated debt rating remains at the Caa1 level, because it does not benefit from government support and is in line with the bank's BCA. Ukreximbank's BCA reflects the high interlinks between the bank's standalone asset quality and the sovereign's creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt, weak profitability, ample liquidity and high reliance on market funding....

Ukreximbank: Update following ratings affirmation and upgrade of BCA - Credit Opinion – 2020/10/23 – US$ 250.00 – ...On 12 October 2020, we upgraded Ukreximbank's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) to caa1 from caa2. The upgrade reflects our expectation that Ukreximbank's loss-absorption capacity will materially improve as a result of capital injections recently announced by the Ukrainian government. Concurrently, we upgraded its foreign-currency subordinate debt rating to Caa1 from Caa2. Ukreximbank's long-term local-currency deposit rating was affirmed at the B3 level, incorporating a one-notch uplift from the bank's BCA of caa1, which reflects a very high probability of support from the government. Ukreximbank's BCA also reflects the high interlinks between the bank's standalone asset quality and the sovereign's creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt, its weak profitability, ample liquidity and high reliance on market funding....

Moody's affirms Ukreximbank's long term deposit ratings, upgrades BCA to caa1 from caa2 - Rating Action – 2020/10/12 – US$ 180.00 – ...ASSESSMENTS, OTHER OPINIONS AND PUBLICATIONS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY ANY PERSON AS A BENCHMARK AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES AND MUST NOT BE USED IN ANY WAY THAT COULD RESULT IN THEM BEING CONSIDERED A BENCHMARK.

Ukreximbank: Update following rating action - Credit Opinion – 2019/12/17 – US$ 250.00 – ...On 27 November 2019, we affirmed all the ratings of Ukreximbank and changed the outlook on its deposit ratings to positive from stable, following the rating action on the Government of Ukraine ( Caa1 positive) and the improvement in the Ukrainian banking system's Macro Profile to Very Weak+ from Very Weak. The positive outlook is aligned with that on the sovereign rating, which reflects our assessment of a very high probability of government support for the bank's deposits. The affirmation of the bank's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) reflects (1) the high interlinks between the bank's standalone credit fundamentals and the sovereign's creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt and bonds guaranteed by the state (over 50% of the bank's assets or 9x-10x of the bank's equity as of the first half of 2019); (2) its strengthened recurring profitability in 2019; and (3) its high level of liquid assets (over 50% of total assets as of H1 2019)....

Ukreximbank: Update to credit analysis - Credit Opinion – 2019/08/09 – US$ 250.00 – ...The Caa1 global local-currency deposit rating assigned to Ukreximbank is based on its caa1 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and our assessment of a very high probability of the bank receiving government support in times of need. However, this support does not provide any rating uplift to Ukreximbank's local currency deposit rating as the Government of Ukraine's Caa1 rating is not higher than the bank's BCA. The bank's foreign-currency deposit rating of Caa2 is capped by a foreign-currency deposit ceiling....

Ukreximbank: Update Following Rating Action - Credit Opinion – 2019/02/12 – US$ 250.00 – ...On 27 December 2018, Moody's upgraded state-owned Ukreximbank's long-term LC deposit and FC senior unsecured debt ratings to Caa1 with a stable outlook from Caa2 (positive outlook), the bank's FC deposit rating to Caa2 with a stable outlook from Caa3 (positive outlook), FC subordinated debt rating to Caa2 from Caa3 and the bank's BCA to caa1 from caa2. The upgrade was driven by the upgrade of Ukraine's sovereign bond rating to Caa1 from Caa2 and reflects: (1) the high inter-linkage between the bank's standalone credit fundamentals and sovereign creditworthiness, given the bank's high direct exposure to sovereign debt and state owned companies; (2) improved coverage of problem loans, (3) strengthened recurring profitability in 2018; and (4) high level of liquid assets. The Caa1 global local currency deposit rating assigned to Ukreximbank is based on its caa1 baseline credit assessment (BCA), and our assessment of a very high probability of government support in the event of need. However,...
