Moody's reaffirms Halyk Bank's rating at the sovereign level - 'Baa2'; Outlook Stable
On April 13, 2022. Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has confirmed the ratings of Halyk Bank at the sovereign level. Earlier, on January 13, 2022, Moody's put the Bank's rating on review for a possible downgrade. As a result of the revision, on April 12, 2022, Moody's confirmed the rating of Halyk Bank at 'Baa2' and changed the outlook to stable. The confirmation of the ratings for Halyk Bank reflects Moody's assessment that the operating environment and the credit profile of the Bank will remain resilient to the increased social and political risks in the country following the recent January events. The confirmation of the ratings also takes into account Moody's expectation that the operating environment and the bank's credit profile will exhibit broad resilience against the potential challenges resulting from the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, including business disruption, tighter financing conditions, potential exchange rate volatility and higher inflation. Moody's assessment reflects Halyk Bank's buffers, including capitalisation, profitability and liquidity. The stable outlook on the long-term ratings of the bank reflects Moody's expectation that the Bank's capitalisation, profitability and liquidity will together balance the risks of weakening asset quality amid higher inflation and tighter financing conditions.
