Moody's downgrades OBC, Syndicate Bank ratings

"The outlook on the bank deposit rating is stable," Moody's said for both lenders. It further downgraded both the banks standalone ratings to 'D/ba2', which reflects its weak position when compared with its domestic and global peers, particularly in relation to asset quality.

"Syndicate Bank's weak asset quality and lack of income diversity is a situation which if prolonged, may pressure the bank's ability to generate internal capital in order to meet required levels of capital," Moody's Investor Services said in a statement.

It further said, "OBC's weak capacity to generate internal capital makes it reliant on government infusions to meet its capital requirements".
