Fitch cuts Philippine National Bank

Fitch Ratings said it downgraded the long-term issuer default ratings of Philippine National Bank to BB from BB+.

The agency said it expects the damage done by pandemic to weigh significantly on the bank’s credit profile in the near to medium term.

Fitch said it expects the Philippine government to step in and help the bank if necessary.

The outlook is stable.
