S&P Global Ratings affirmed Aktia Bank Plc's ratings
On 10 June 2026, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Aktia Bank Plc's 'A-/A-2' long- and short-term issuer credit ratings. The negative outlook was maintained.
S&P Global Ratings has revised its assessment of the operating environment in Finland. The agency revised downward its economic risk score for Finland's banking sector to '3' from '2' and its overall Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment (BICRA) for Finland to '3' from '2'. This led to a revision of the anchor for Finnish banks to 'bbb+' from 'a-'.
Despite the weaker BICRA assessment and the lower anchor for Finnish banks, S&P Global Ratings affirmed Aktia Bank Plc's ratings. Aktia's collateralised lending supports resilient asset quality, and improving earnings are expected to provide increased buffer to absorb credit losses. Aktia is financially stable and is focused on deliberately implementing its strategy.
