Moody's aveva messo sotto osservazione a vario titolo (ma per una riduzione) taluni rating di 21 banche italiane, mentre per 1 banca, il Credito Valtellinese, si prospetta un possibile upgrade. Per un'altra ventina di banche, la disamina si è tradotta in una riaffermazione dei rating.

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica]
Milan, June 18, 2009 -- Moody's Investors Service has placed on review for possible downgrade the bank financial strength ratings (BFSRs) or long-term debt and deposit ratings of 21 Italian banks and financial institutions, out of its rated universe of 47 institutions in Italy. At the same time the rating agency affirmed the BFSRs and long-term deposit and debt ratings of 20 Italian banks, and placed the long-term deposit ratings of two banks on review for possible upgrade.
The rating agency said that in most cases there would be only a limited impact, with most downgrades being limited to a single notch. "While Moody's outlook for the Italian banking system is currently negative, we see the potential downside for the financial fundamentals and ratings of the country's banks as being significantly more limited than has been the case for some other major European banking systems", said Henry MacNevin, a Moody's Senior Vice President and Team Leader for Moody's Italian bank ratings, based in Milan.
Full details of all the rating actions taken is given at the end of this Press Release. Moody's said that it expects to conclude its reviews for most of these in the coming weeks.
Moody's said that these reviews for possible downgrade have been prompted by its view that the operating environment faced by the Italian banks has deteriorated significantly, as reflected by the change in its outlook for the Italian banking system to negative from stable in May 2009. As a result Moody's said that it expects banks' financials to come under pressure. Revenues in key businesses, including asset management and investment banking are likely to continue to weigh negatively on profitability. At the same time asset quality is expected to see the deteriorating trend of recent months continue, leading to higher credit losses than previously incorporated in the ratings, further straining profitability and capitalisation. Pressure on asset quality across all asset classes is coming from the recession in Italy, which is expected to continue throughout 2009, with the economy likely to see stagnation in 2010, coupled with negative prospects for the labour market. The rating agency however added that these conditions are likely to lead, over time, to only relatively limited adjustments to ratings in the Italian banking system.
"While expecting increased pressure on many banks' financial fundamentals we also believe that the likelihood of support by the Italian government has increased during this period of exceptional systemic stress in the banking sectors globally", said Henry MacNevin. This should result in a more moderate impact on the debt and deposit ratings of many, even small, banks, compared to a potentially slightly greater rating impact on BFSRs, which measure solely their stand-alone financial strength. Moody's also pointed out that the need for, and accordingly the extent of, support measures from the Italian state had been quite limited.
REVIEW OF BANK FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATINGS
According to Moody's the reviews on the banks' BFSRs will focus on the extent to which factors such as more modest profitability, weaker asset quality, and lower capital adequacy in particular, leave them more exposed to the current economic downturn, particularly where this may also be combined with exposure to riskier sectors, such as real estate (real estate developers, construction companies etc.), or where a bank operates in a country or region with weaker economic conditions.
Moody's BFSR methodology remains unchanged, though the weight attached to certain rating considerations, particularly capital and future earnings prospects, has been increased to better reflect the impact of the current crisis. The refinement to Moody's approach to rating banks in this environment is discussed in a Special Comment titled "Calibrating Bank Ratings in the Context of the Global Financial Crisis", which was published in February 2009.
REVIEW OF SENIOR DEBT AND DEPOSIT RATINGS
Moody's expects the downgrades of the senior debt and deposit ratings in most cases to be limited to one, or at most two notches. "Demonstrated or anticipated government support continues to underpin deposit and senior debt ratings for the Italian banks", says Moody's MacNevin. "This is in line with our expectation that banks in highly rated countries will receive, or are likely to receive, support depending on their level of systemic importance. "The rating agency added that this expectation of support underlies the reviews for possible upgrade on two Italian banks.
In reviewing the deposit and senior debt ratings, Moody's will consider (i) the support currently available to the banks, as well as the probability of support once stability returns to the markets and the system, (ii) the systemic importance of the rated institutions, (iii) the banks' intrinsic financial strength, (iv) other sources of external support, in particular group support for the co-operative credit banks and parental support.
RATING AFFIRMATONS
In addition to the banks placed on review, Moody's affirmed the long-term debt and deposit ratings and BFSRs of 20 banks, believing that those institutions can absorb a level of stress beyond Moody's expected loss assumptions and remain appropriately capitalised at their current rating level.
REVIEW FOR UPGRADE OF LONG-TERM DEPOSIT RATINGS
Moody's also placed on review for upgrade -- likely to be limited to one notch - the long-term deposit ratings of two banks (Credito Valtellinese and its subsidiary Bancaperta). The rating agency said that this reflects its revised expectation of systemic support for these banks in the current economic and financial markets conditions, as well as the growth and increased systemic importance of these banks in recent years.
REVIEW FOR POSSIBLE DOWNGRADE OF SHORT-TERM DEPOSIT RATINGS
Moody's placed on review for possible downgrade the Prime-1 short-term deposit ratings of 5 banks, for which all other ratings were affirmed. These banks are all rated A3 for short-term deposits. The rating agency said that the review will focus on whether, in current market and funding conditions, a Prime-1 short-term deposit rating remains compatible with these banks rated at the A3 level.
