Sector And Industry Variables Published For Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment Update For May 2023

MEXICO CITY (S&P Global Ratings) May 24, 2023--S&P Global Ratings today published its sector and industry variables for "Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment Update: May 2023." The article provides additional information on the variables derived from the application of the criteria "Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment Methodology And Assumptions," Dec. 9, 2021. These variables are used primarily when applying our methodologies to develop the stand-alone credit profile and issuer credit rating of a financial institution ("Financial Institutions Rating Methodology," Dec. 9, 2021). In addition, some variables covered in this report are derived from our "Financial Institutions Rating Methodology," Dec. 9, 2021 and "Risk-Adjusted Capital Framework Methodology," July 20, 2017. This report is intended to be read and applied in conjunction with those criteria.

We typically update this information every month to summarize our latest BICRA assessments, economic and industry risk scores and components, and related assessments. These variables were last published in "Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment Update: April 2023."

A sector and industry variables report is a publicly available criteria-related publication that describes sector, industry, asset class, or regional variables that we expect to periodically update mainly to reflect our views on changing macroeconomic and market conditions. Sector and industry variables reports are not criteria because they do not establish a methodological framework for determining credit ratings.

Since we last published the BICRA update on April 28, 2023, we have revised:

  • Italy: Our economic risk trend to positive from stable; and
  • New Zealand: Our economic risk trend to stable from negative.

Since we last published the BICRA update on April 28, 2023, we have published comprehensive BICRA reports on Armenia, Brunei, Cyprus, New Zealand, Panama, and Singapore.
