The stable outlook on Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. reflects that on Argentina. We expect that Banco Galicia will maintain its good market position in the Argentine financial system, with nonperforming loans below 4% of total loans, satisfactory profitability despite still "weak" capitalization, and good liquidity in the next two years. We could lower the ratings on Banco Galicia if economic and industrywide risk for Argentine banks deteriorates or if the bank's credit standing weakens. The rating on the sovereign limits upgrade potential for the bank.
