The rating agency risk Standard & Poor's (S & P) has decided to downgrade several Spanish banks - BBVA, Barclays, Caixabank, Santander, Banesto, Sabadell, Popular and BFA-Bankia, having left the sovereign debt at the edge of junk status last week. "The downgrade of [rating] sovereign has direct negative implications for the ratings of those banks calificábamos above the 'BBB-' from Spain, and the ratings of the banks for which we considered the extraordinary support of the state as a way to raise the rating above your credit profile Single "said the firm in a statement.
The agency S & P decided last October 10 downgrade the debt rating two notches Spanish and leaves the edge of the so-called junk bonds, that is, a step to be considered speculative investments. Spanish bonds were rated BBB + with and from that rebate remained at BBB-. Now it's your turn to entities that the firm believes are closely linked to the progress of the Spanish economy.
Thus, the firm downgrades long-term debt of 11 banks. However, the list includes differentiated ratings for Caixabank and La Caixa, and to Santander and Santander Consumer, consumer credit subsidiary of Santander. Taking into account banking groups affects the degradation seven. So BBVA loses two steps and passes from BBB + to BBB-, like Barclays. Banco Santander also lost two notches, from A-to BBB, as Banesto. Already in the field of the considered junk bonds, some entities further down in this regard: Sabadell, Bankia Popular and lose a step, from BB + to BB, and the latter's subsidiary, BFA, from B + to B.
The rating firm justifies its decisions on a case by case basis. For starters, he explains that the degradation of BBVA and CaixaBank done because "normally" entities are not eligible to the note above the country in which they are domiciled (in fact, leaves the same level as Spain's debt, the edge junk bond). In the case of Santander and its subsidiary Banesto, yes they are above the creditworthiness of sovereign debt, the downgrade justify explaining that "in the few cases where banks we rate above the long-term rating foreign currency of the country where they are domiciled, the difference between sovereign and bank rating is generally limited to one notch. "
As for Sabadell, Banco Popular, Bankia and its parent BFA, S & P said that what he did was withdraw a step extra granted them above the note were assigned their calculations, with support from the state. "The downgrade of our long-term rating of Spain has led us to eliminate the step", explains.
Negative outlook
In addition, the downward revision of BBVA, Santander, Barclays, Santander Consumer Finance and Banesto points to a "negative" outlook, while Banco Popular, BFA-Bankia, Caixabank, La Caixa and Banco Sabadell pass be in "negative watch ". Also in this case the change is made to acompasarlo to Spanish debt, which was also assigned a negative outlook last week, because its rating could be cut again.
"In cases of Santander and BBVA, we do not expect that in any case, we will lower their individual credit profiles on more than two steps once we review the Spanish financial sector. The possibility that long-term ratings of these banks affected by this review is therefore remote, "he adds S & P in a statement.
The final rating in November
The U.S. agency said in November that shall terminate the definitive rating of Spanish banks, once the analysis of the impact of sovereign debt downgrade in expectations of industrial portfolios in the banking sector.
The S & P statement adds that entities currently in the process of recapitalization or restructuring will be evaluated later, once the agency gather necessary information on the plans and strategies of these entities, and their impact on their financial profiles.
S & P had already announced a possible revision in mass of the note of Spanish banks to cut by two notches, to BBB-with a negative outlook, the rating of sovereign debt by "increasing risks to public finances in Spain, due the growing economic and political pressures. " "We believe that this reduction could have a negative impact on the solvency of the Spanish banks we rate," explained the rating agency said in a statement.
