  • Fitch Affirms Seven New Zealand Financial Institutions
    8/30/2017 [ Press Release ] Fitch Affirms Seven New Zealand Financial Institutions Fitch Affirms Seven New Zealand Financial Institutions Fitch Ratings-Sydney-30 August 2017: Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of the following seven New Zealand financial institutions: - Kiwibank Limited; - TSB Bank Limited; - Southland Building Society (SBS); - The Co-operative Bank Limited (Co-op); - Nelson Building Society (NBS); - Credit Union Baywide (CUB); and - Wairarapa Building Society (WBS). At the same time, the agency has assigned Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) to TSB, Co-op and CUB. A full list of rating action is at the end of this commentary. The affirmation of the IDRs, Viability Ratings and instrument ratings for the seven institutions reflects our view that they are likely to continue performing solidly over the next year or two. However, we maintain a negative sector outlook for New Zealand, reflecting rising household indebtedness and high property prices, which could lead to asset quality deterioration if unemployment or interest rates rise. Conversely, dairy exposures, for the institutions that have them, are likely to see improved asset quality if higher global dairy prices are sustained into 2018. Many of these entities are planning for strong loan growth. However, we believe market conditions and regulatory action, including already-implemented macro-prudential tools, may make it increasingly difficult for the banks to sustain such growth levels. KEY RATING DRIVERS IDRs Kiwibank's IDRs reflect Fitch's view that there is an extremely high capacity and likelihood of support from the bank's ultimate owner, the New Zealand sovereign (AA/Stable), if required.
