Key Rating Drivers
Standalone Assessment: Banco Internacional del Peru S.A.A. - Interbank's (Interbank) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) are driven by its Viability Rating (VR) of 'bbb', which is in line with the implied VR. The bank's strong franchise in retail lending, well-diversified business model and sound financial profile underpin the ratings. The VR and Long-Term IDRs are sensitive to a material deterioration in the local operating environment (OE) or a negative sovereign rating action.
Deteriorated Asset Quality: As of 3Q23, the 90 days nonperforming loans (NPL) ratio
deteriorated to 3.3% (YE22: 2.6%) due to the seasoning of the retail loans amidst the current high interest rate and high-inflation environment. Loan loss allowance coverage of impaired loans of 156.2% at 3Q23 (YE22: 191.7%) is adequate. Fitch Ratings believes that asset quality metrics will stabilize in 2024 after the downside observed in 2023.
Adequate Probability: The operating profit-to-risk-weighted assets (RWA) ratio reduced to 1.9% at 3Q23, from 2.3% at YE22, reflecting a higher cost of credit. 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 Peruvian banks' profitability to remain sound in 2024, supported by a strong NIM and good efficiency.
Sound Capitalization: Interbank's Common Equity Tier I ratio (FCC) reached 11.2% in 3Q23 while the total Capital Adequacy ratio was 15.0% at the same date. The bank was well prepared to phase in the Basel III capital regulations, with capitalization ratios adequate and commensurate with the current rating levels. Fitch expects Interbank to remain well capitalized due to steady internal capital generation and moderate loan growth.
Stable Funding and Liquidity: The loan-to-deposits ratio slightly deteriorated to 111.0% in 3Q23, compared to 109.6% at YE22. Deposit growth was low at 3.1% as of 3Q23, reflecting tighter monetary policy. Low-cost and stable deposits will remain as the bank's main source of funding in 2024. Despite low deposit growth, liquidity is expected to remain stable, reflecting low credit expansion and less aggressive monetary tightening in 2024.

Bank Rating Criteria (September 2023)
Related Research
- The IDRs are sensitive to a negative rating action on the sovereign or any deterioration of Fitch's OE score assessment.
- Interbank's VR could be downgraded if asset quality deterioration causes a sustained decline in the bank's operating profit-to-RWA ratio to less than 2.0% and loss absorption capacity, either in the form of an FCC or common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio below 10% or a relevant decline in reserve coverage for more than four consecutive quarters.

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 the OE and the bank's financial profiles in the context of a sovereign upgrade.
Other Debt and Issuer Ratings
Debt Rating Classes
Rating Type | Rating |
Subordinated | BB+ |
Source: Fitch Ratings | |
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 'bbb-' GSR reflects high probability of forthcoming support. The Peruvian government has a high propensity to provide Interbank support given its moderate systemic importance. The sovereign's ability to provide support is reflected in its 'BBB'/Negative IDR, which is underpinned by its sound financial position, ample international reserves and low debt levels.

How to Read This Page
ESG relevance scores range from 1 to 5 based on a 15-level color gradation. Red (5) is most relevant to the credit rating and green (1) is least relevant.
The Environmental (E), Social (S) and Governance (G) tables break out the ESG general issues and the sector-specificissues that are most relevant to each industry group. Relevance scores are assigned to each sector-specificissue, signaling the credit- relevance of the sector-specificissues to the issuer's overall credit rating. The Criteria Reference column highlights the factor(s) within which the corresponding ESG issues are captured in Fitch's credit analysis. The vertical color bars are visualizations of the frequency of occurrence of the highest constituent relevance scores. They do not represent an aggregate of the relevance scores or aggregate ESG credit relevance.
The Credit-Relevant ESG Derivation table's far right column is a visualization of the frequency of occurrence of the highest ESG relevance scores across the combined E, S and G categories. The three columns to the left of ESG Relevance to Credit Rating summarize rating relevance and impact to credit from ESG issues. The box on the far left identifies any ESG Relevance Sub-factorissues that are drivers or potential drivers of the issuer's credit rating (corresponding with scores of 3, 4 or 5) and provides a brief explanation for the relevance score. All scores of '4' and '5' are assumed to result in a negative impact unless indicated with a '+' sign for positive impact.h scores of 3, 4 or 5) and provides a brief explanation for the score.
Classification of ESG issues has been developed from Fitch's sector ratings criteria. The General Issues and Sector-Specific Issues draw on the classification standards published by the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the World Bank.

How relevant are E, S and G issues to the
overall credit rating?
Highly relevant, a key rating driver that has a
5significant impact on the rating on an individual basis. Equivalent to "higher" relative importance
within Navigator.
Relevant to rating, not a key rating driver but has
4an impact on the rating in combination with other factors. Equivalent to "moderate" relative
importance within Navigator.
Minimally relevant to rating, either very low impact
3or actively managed in a way that results in no impact on the entity rating. Equivalent to "lower"
relative importance within Navigator.
2Irrelevant to the entity rating but relevant to the sector.
1Irrelevant to the entity rating and irrelevant to the sector.
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on the entity, due to either their nature or the way in which they are being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

DISCLAIMER & DISCLOSURES
All Fitch Ratings (Fitch) credit ratings are subject to certain limitations and disclaimers. Please read these limitations and disclaimers by following this link: https://www.fitchratings.com/understandingcreditratings. In addition, the following https://www.fitchratings.com/rating-definitions-document details Fitch's rating definitions for each rating scale and rating categories, including definitions relating to default. Published ratings, criteria, and methodologies are available from this site at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance, and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the Code of Conduct section of this site. Directors and shareholders' relevant interests are available at https://www.fitchratings.com/site/regulatory. Fitch may have provided another permissible or ancillary service to the rated entity or its related third parties. Details of permissible or ancillary service(s) for which the lead analyst is based in an ESMA- or FCA-registered Fitch Ratings company (or branch of such a company) can be found on the entity summary page for this issuer on the Fitch Ratings website.
In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existingthird-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed.
The information in this report is provided "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax- exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction.

Fitch Ratings, Inc. is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (the "NRSRO"). While certain of the NRSRO's credit rating subsidiaries are listed on Item 3 of Form NRSRO and as such are authorized to issue credit ratings on behalf of the NRSRO (see https://www.fitchratings.com/site/regulatory), other credit rating subsidiaries are not listed on Form NRSRO (the "non-NRSROs") and therefore credit ratings issued by those subsidiaries are not issued on behalf of the NRSRO. However, non- NRSRO personnel may participate in determining credit ratings issued by or on behalf of the NRSRO.
