Mumbai: Fitch Ratings has downgraded Punjab National Bank’s viability rating- its view on the bank’s creditworthiness to 'bb-' from 'bb' implying higher risk of default by the bank. We pioneered the concept of credit rating in India in 1987. Over 1,10,000 MSMEs have been rated by us. PNB's other ratings are unaffected by this downgrade. The ratings also factor in the brand-sharing benefits from the parentage of PNB.Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.PNB Housing's asset-liability maturity profile is strong.
The RWN reflects the possibility of a downgrade of PNB's Viability Rating. Fitch, however, affirmed PNB’s long-term issuer default rating (IDR) at ‘BBB-’, with a stable outlook. Global ratings agency Fitch has placed Punjab National Bank's (PNB) viability rating of 'bb' on rating watch negative (RWN), following the large fraud reported by the state-run bank. In December 2009, PNB sold 49% stake in PNB Housing and entered into a strategic partnership with Destimoney Enterprises Pvt Ltd (owned by NSR Partners). The Viability Rating measures credit worthiness of a financial institution and reflects the likelihood of the entity to fail, as per Fitch.
