LONDON (AFX) - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services late Friday said it revised its outlook on Bankinter SA to positive from stable.
At the same time, the 'A/A-1' long- and short-term counterparty credit ratings were affirmed.
'The outlook revision reflects the possibility of an upgrade if the bank is successful in shifting the focus and increasing the diversification of its business profile while increasing risk-adjusted profitability, and if it maintains comparatively healthy asset quality, and adequate core solvency,' said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Angela Cruz. newsdesk@afxnews.com vs COPYRIGHT Copyright AFX News Limited 2006.
