The rating agency Moody's has improved the outlook of UniCredit SpA's senior preferred debt and long-term deposit ratings from 'stable' to 'positive'. The ratings have been affirmed at 'Baa1'.
At the same time, the rating agency has improved the assessment of operating conditions for banks in Italy increasing the Macro Profile to 'Strong' from Strong-'.
The rating action follows the recently assigned 'positive' rating outlook for Italy, while UniCredit has a stronger standalone creditworthiness and continues to be rated at two notches above the sovereign, the maximum allowed by Moody's methodology.
Moody's has confirmed its expectation that should the acquisition of Banco BPM be finalized, the financial profile of UniCredit would remain broadly unchanged, while UniCredit's standalone rating could be upgraded above the sovereign in the event of UniCredit acquiring Commerzbank.
