Fitch ups four Hungarian banks
Fitch Ratings said it upgraded MFB Hungarian Development Bank plc's and Hungarian Export-Import Bank's long-term issuer default ratings to BBB- from BB+.
The agency also upgraded Erste Bank Hungary's and Kereskedelmi es Hitelbank Zrt's long-term issuer default ratings to BBB from BBB-.
The long-term issuer default rating of Hungarian CIB Bank Zrt was affirmed at BBB-.
All ratings have stable outlooks.
The actions follow the upgrade of Hungary's long-term issuer default rating to BBB- from BB+ with a stable outlook.
Fitch said the upgrades of state-owned MFB and Hungarian Export-Import reflect the improved ability of the government to provide extraordinary support, in case of need, as reflected in the upgrade of Hungary's long-term issuer default rating, while the propensity to support both banks remains strong.
