Bank Millennium SAMoody's upgrades rating on Bank Millennium to Baa2, maintains positive outlook
Moody's has raised its rating to Baa2 rating for Bank Millenium, maintaining the outlook to positive, the rating agency reported in a release.
As stated, the upgrade of the bank's BCA to ba2 from ba3 reflects the bank's improved solvency profile, primarily due to increased capital buffers well in excess of regulatory minimum requirements and reduced tail risks to its capitalization, due to the ongoing reduction of the bank's exposure to Swiss-franc mortgages, which pose significant legal risks.
These improvements enabled BM to exit its recovery plan mid-last year and prompted the regulator to eliminate the additional capital requirement previously imposed to address risks from foreign currency loans.
By December 2024, the bank had reduced its outstanding Swiss-franc mortgages to PLN 1.3 billion (EUR 310 mln), about 20 percent of its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1), down from nearly PLN 3 billion (EUR 715 mln) the previous year.
