Key Rating Drivers

Negative Rating Outlook: Banco Internacional del Peru S.A.A. - Interbank's (Interbank) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) and senior debt ratings are driven by its 'bbb' Viability Rating (VR), which is in line with the implied VR. The Negative Rating Outlook on the Long-Term IDRs is aligned with the Negative Rating Outlook on Peru's sovereign rating. The VR and Long-Term IDRs are sensitive to a material deterioration in the local operating environment (OE) or a negative sovereign rating action. OE pressures include a slow recovery of GDP due to the challenging investment and business environment.

Strong Franchise in Retail Lending: Interbank is Peru's fourth largest universal commercial bank, with a market share by loans and deposits of 13.3% and 13.8%, respectively, as of 2Q23. It has a strategic focus on retail banking in Peru, as reflected in its 22.7% and 19.4% market shares in consumer loans and retail deposits, respectively, at 2Q23, comparable with the largest Peruvian bank's market shares in these products.

Stable Asset Quality: As of 2Q23, the 90 days nonperforming loans (NPL) ratio remained stable at

2.6% (YE22: 2.6%) and similar to pre-pandemic levels despite the important expansion of the retail segment and the seasoning of Reactiva Peru program loans. Loan loss allowance coverage of impaired loans of 192.2% at 2Q23 (YE22: 191.7%) is adequate and similar to pre-pandemic levels. Fitch Ratings believes asset quality could deteriorate slightly in 2023, due to unseasoned retail loan growth and weaker borrower repayment capacity due to high interest rates and high inflation.

Sound Probability: The operating profit-to-risk-weighted assets (RWA) ratio increased slightly to 2.4% at 2Q23, from 2.3% at YE22, reflecting a higher net interest margin (NIM) and controlled credit and noninterest expenses. Higher interest rates coupled with a change in the portfolio mix, with a higher proportion of the retail segment and a lower proportion of the commercial portfolio, supported the NIM. Fitch expects profitability to remain sound at around 2%, supported by a strong NIM and good efficiency.

Adequate Capitalization: Interbank's Fitch Core Capital (FCC) declined to 10.4% at 2Q23, versus 10.7% at 2Q22, reflecting higher RWA due to the bank's increased exposure in retail loans and the seasoning of Reactiva Peru loans. Fitch expects Interbank's capitalization to remain commensurate with current ratings, sustained by moderate expected growth and sound earnings generation.

Stable Funding and Liquidity: The loan-to-deposits ratio remained stable at 108.2% as of 2Q23, similar to 109.6% at YE22. Deposit growth was 3.4% as of June 2023, reflecting tighter monetary policy, and covered more than two thirds of funding needs (75.9% at 2Q23). Fitch expects liquidity pressures to remain within rating expectations, partly reflecting stable monetary policy signals as of mid-2023.

Rating Sensitivities

Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action/downgrade

IDRs and VR

  • Interbank's VR could be downgraded if asset quality deterioration causes a sustained Firmado Digitalmentedecline inpor:the bank's operating profit-to-RWA ratio to less than 2.0% and loss absorption

Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action/upgrade

IDRs and VR

  • Interbank's IDRs currently have a Negative Rating Outlook in line with the sovereign, which makes an upgrade highly unlikely over the rating horizon as the bank's IDRs are constrained by the sovereign ratings.
  • Over the medium term, Interbank's ratings could be upgraded by the confluence of improvement in theOE and thebank's financial profiles in thecontext ofa sovereign upgrade.

Subordinated Debt

Interbank's subordinated bonds are considered "plain vanilla," as they do not have coupon deferral features. The subordinated debt is two notches below the VR of 'bbb', reflecting baseline notching for loss severity. There is no notching due to incremental nonperformance risk.

  • The subordinated debt ratings would be downgraded if Interbank's VR is downgraded.
  • Subordinated debt ratings would be upgraded if Interbank's VR is upgraded.

The Key Rating Driver (KRD) weightings used to determine the implied VR are shown as percentages at the top. In cases where the implied VR is adjusted upward or downward to arrive at the VR, the KRD associated with the adjustment reason is highlighted in red. The shaded areas indicate the benchmark-implied scores for each KRD.

VR - Adjustments to Key Rating Drivers

The OE score has been assigned above the implied score due to the following adjustment reasons: Sovereign Rating (positive) and Macroeconomic Stability (positive).

The Capitalization and Leverage score has been assigned above the implied score due to the following adjustment reason: Reserve Coverage and Asset Valuation (positive).
