    GCR affirms Bank of Kigali Plc’s and BK Group Plc’s national scale issuer ratings of AA+(RW) and AA(RW), respectively; Outlooks Stable Rating Action Johannesburg, 23 September 2020, GCR Ratings (‘GCR’) has affirmed the Rwandan long and short- term issuer ratings on Bank of Kigali Plc (‘Bank of Kigali’, ‘the bank’) of AA+(RW) and A1+(RW), respectively, with outlook accorded as Stable. At the same time, GCR has affirmed BK Group Plc’s (‘BK Group’, ’the group’) national scale long and short-term issuer ratings of AA(RW) and A1+(RW), respectively, with a Stable Outlook. Rated Entity / Issue Rating class Rating scale Rating Outlook / Watch Bank of Kigali Plc Long Term issuer National AA+(RW) Stable Outlook Short Term issuer National A1+(RW) Rated Entity / Issue Rating class Rating scale Rating Outlook / Watch BK Group Plc Long Term issuer National AA(RW) Stable Outlook Short Term issuer National A1+(RW) Rating Rationale Bank of Kigali is the largest subsidiary of BK Group, a holding company with three other subsidiaries, namely BK General Insurance, BK TecHouse and BK Capital Ltd. The smaller subsidiaries are growing revenue contributions and represented approximately 10% of PAT of the group at HY20. We think that Bank of Kigali will continue to be the most significant subsidiary of the group for the foreseeable future and will therefore continue to drive the rating accorded to the group. The ratings on the bank balance its position as a market leader in Rwanda, strong capitalisation, sound funding structure, good liquidity with its modest risk position.
