Strong parental support. Satisfactory risk management. Small market presence. Below-average funding capacity. Limited retail deposit base. The stable outlook reflects Standard&Poor's Ratings Services' expectation that Fubon Bank (China) Co. Ltd. will remain "highly strategically important" to the Fubon Financial Holding Co. Ltd. (Fubon FHC: BBB+/Stable/A-2; cnA+/cnA-1) group, and the group will maintain its credit profile over the next one to two years. We may upgrade Fubon Bank China if Fubon group's credit profile improves meaningfully or if we view the bank as a "core" subsidiary of the group because of its sustained contribution to the group. We may downgrade Fubon Bank China if the group's creditworthiness deteriorates substantially. Standard&Poor's National And Regional Scale Mapping Tables, Sept.
