SBAB Upgraded By Standard & Poor’s To 'A+/A-1'
Given the likely supportive resolution strategy for SBAB Bank AB (publ) (“SBAB”) and its expanded subordinated recapitalization capacity, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) see a further reduced risk of the bank defaulting on obligations to senior preferred creditors in the unlikely event that the bank fails.
On 17 February 2023, S&P therefore raised the long-term issuer credit rating on SBAB to 'A+' from 'A', and affirmed the 'A-1' short-term rating. At the same time, S&P also raised the long-term resolution counterparty ratings to 'AA-/A-1+' from 'A+/A-1'. The stable outlook was confirmed.
