  • Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale (“Helaba”)
    Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale (“Helaba”) Public Section of 2018 §165(d) Resolution Plan 1 Public Section (i) Executive Summary Section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act (“DFA”) and its implementing rules, as modified or supplemented from time to time by subsequent guidance and/or instructions, require, among other things, any company covered by section 165 (d) to produce a resolution plan (such plan for Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale (“Helaba”) being this “Resolution Plan”) to provide for such company’s rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure. The implementing rules (collectively, the “Rule”) were jointly issued by the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”), codified at 12 C.F.R. Part 243, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC” and together with the Board, the “Agencies”), codified at 12 C.F.R. Part 381, on November 1, 2011. Helaba is considered a “Covered company” under the Rule and must file this Resolution Plan with the Agencies. References to the Rule contained herein are to 12 C.F.R. Part 243 promulgated by the Board. Under the requirements of the Rule, Covered companies are required to assess their U.S. banking operations for the presence of “Material entities”, “Critical operations”, and “Core business lines”. Helaba performed this assessment and determined that there were no Material entities, Critical operations or Core business lines as defined in the Rule. Therefore, the focus of this Resolution Plan is the orderly resolution of Helaba’s New York State chartered branch (the “New York Branch”), which conducts the vast majority of the U.S.

  • Fitch Places German and Austrian Banks Under Criteria Observation
    3/4/2020 Press Release Fitch Places German and Austrian Banks Under Criteria Observation Fitch Ratings - Frankfurt am Main - 04 March 2020: Fitch Ratings has placed Austrian and German banks' Long-Term (LT) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs), Derivative Counterparty Ratings (DCR), debt ratings and Deposit Ratings under criteria observation (UCO). The rating actions follow the publication on 28 February 2020 of Fitch's updated bank and non-bank financial institution rating criteria that include changes to the way the agency notches senior and junior ratings from their IDR or Viability Rating (VR) anchors. The updated criteria better reflect continuing developments in bank resolution, notably developments in bank resolution plans, the build-up of 'bail-in' debt buffers that protect more senior creditors and their implication for default risk and recovery prospects for senior and junior liability classes. Fitch has also reduced the base case notching for non-performance on additional tier 1 (AT1) instruments, narrowing the relative gap between Tier 2 and AT1 instruments where Fitch has reappraised its baseline treatment of non- performance risk. Ratings designated as being UCO will be reviewed and resolved as soon as practical and in any case within six months. Key Rating Drivers Fitch has placed UCO the IDRs, DCRs, senior debt, deposit, subordinated debt and hybrid debt ratings of the various issuers as outlined in the rating sensitivities section below. The rating actions reflect the possibility that these ratings will be upgraded or downgraded as a result of the publication of our new Bank Rating Criteria on 28 February 2020, as outlined in more detail in the Rating Sensitivities section of this rating action commentary.

    EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SYSTEMIC IMPORTANCE (BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK) Piergiorgio Alessandri*, Sergio Masciantonio* and Andrea Zaghini* Banca d’Italia, Banca d’Italia, Banca d’Italia and CFS Abstract We develop a methodology to identify and rank “systemically important financial institutions” (SIFIs). Our approach is consistent with that followed by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) but, unlike the latter, it is free of judgment and it is based entirely on publicly available data, thus filling the gap between the official views of the regulator and those that market participants can form with their own information set. We apply the methodology to annual data on three samples of banks (global, EU and euro area) for the years 2007-2012. We examine the evolution of the SIFIs over time and document the shifts in the relative weights of the major geographic areas. We also discuss the implication of the 2013 update of the identification methodology proposed by the FSB. Key words: G-SIFIs, Systemic risk, too-big-to-fail, financial crisis.

  • Fitch Takes Actions on 6 German Banking Groups on Coronavirus Uncertainties
    3/27/2020 Press Release Fitch Takes Actions on 6 German Banking Groups on Coronavirus Uncertainties Fitch Ratings - Frankfurt am Main - 27 March 2020: Fitch Ratings has taken rating actions on 6 German banking groups following the coronavirus disruption. Fitch has affirmed the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) and Viability Ratings (VRs) of Sparkassen- Finanzgruppe (Sparkassen) and Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Hessen-Thueringen (SFG-HT) and has revised the Outlooks on both groups' Long-Term IDRs to Negative. Fitch has also placed the Long-Term IDR and VR of Deutsche Bank AG on Rating Watch Negative (RWN) and has downgraded the Long-Term IDR and VR of Commerzbank AG (CBK). The Outlook on CBK's Long-Term IDR remains Negative. The Long-Term IDR of Unicredit Bank AG (HVB) has been affirmed with a Negative Outlook. Aareal Bank AG's Long-Term IDR has been downgraded to 'BBB+' to reflect Fitch's new Bank Rating Criteria and placed on RWN to reflect the coronoavirus disruption. A full list of rating actions is at the end of this Rating Action Commentary. While the ultimate economic and financial market implications of the coronavirus outbreak are unclear, Fitch considers the risks to banks' credit profiles to be clearly skewed to the downside and this has driven the rating actions. Fitch revised its sector outlook for German banks to negative in December 2019, and the coronavirus outbreak will put additional pressure on the banks' earnings and asset quality. These are exacerbated by the structural weaknesses of the domestic banking sector, where most banks have been unable to generate adequate returns during periods of strong economic growth.

  • German Landesbank Helaba and SFHT Group Banks Affirmed at 'A/A-1' on Acquisition of Westlb's Assets; Outlook Stable
    Research Update: German Landesbank Helaba And SFHT Group Banks Affirmed At 'A/A-1' On Acquisition Of WestLB's Assets; Outlook Stable Primary Credit Analyst: Harm Semder, Frankfurt (49) 69-33-999-158; [email protected] Secondary Contact: Stefan Best, Frankfurt (49) 69-33-999-154; [email protected] Table Of Contents Overview Rating Action Rationale Outlook Ratings Score Snapshot Related Criteria And Research Ratings List WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 10, 2012 1 986283 | 300025082 Research Update: German Landesbank Helaba And SFHT Group Banks Affirmed At 'A/A-1' On Acquisition Of WestLB's Assets; Outlook Stable Overview • German Landesbank Hessen-Thueringen Girozentrale (Helaba) has taken over WestLB's business with savings banks and parts of its business with public-sector and midsize corporate clients. • In our view, this transaction has no immediate impact on the SFHT group's credit profile. • We are affirming our 'A/A-1' ratings on the core member banks of the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Hessen-Thueringen (SFHT) including their central bank, Helaba. • The stable outlook reflects our assessment that the financial profiles of SFHT and Helaba will stay relatively resilient under increasingly difficult market conditions, and are less likely to change over the next one to two years. Rating Action On July 10, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'A' long-term and 'A-1' short-term counterparty credit ratings on the core member banks of Germany-based Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe Hessen-Thueringen (SFHT), including the regional savings banks and their central bank Landesbank Hessen-Thueringen Girozentrale (Helaba). The outlook is stable. Rationale The affirmation follows the Helaba's acquisition of about €40 billion of WestLB AG's business with savings banks and parts of its business with public-sector and midsize corporate clients, which will retroactively become effective on July 1, 2012.
