BPER Banca informs that Fitch Ratings has today upgraded the company's ratings. In particular, the long-term deposit rating was upgraded from 'BB+' to Investment Grade 'BBB-' and the long-term issuer rating was upgraded from 'BB' to 'BB+', with the outlook confirmed as 'Stable'.

The upgrade reflects, on the one hand, BPER's adequate capitalisation, combined with a material improvement in asset quality driven by a significantly lower non-performing loan ratio. On the other, it reflects the benefits in terms of competitive position, volumes and profitability prospects arising from the acquisition of the going concern from Intesa Sanpaolo.
