BCP's ratings upgrade primarily reflect the bank's improved asset quality, the improvement in capitalisation and resilient pre-impairment profitability, due to a leading franchise in Portugal and sound cost efficiency.

Capital buffers above capital requirements are increasing due to improving profitability and active management of capital ratios leading to an increase in the fully loaded CET1 ratio to 12.5% (13% on a pro forma basis) at end-2022.
