In a press release, Moody's also confirmed the National Scale Ratings (NSRs) of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Montevideo Branch; Banco A.C.A.C. S.A.; Banco de la Nacion Argentina (Uruguay); Banco Santander, S.A. (Uruguay); BankBoston, N.A. (Uruguay); and Lloyds TSB Bank plc (Uruguay).
Moody's pointed out that the NSR is not globally comparable, and is intended primarily for domestic use. The NSR ranks the likelihood of credit loss on local currency obligations of issuers in a particular country relative to other local issuers. The NSR also incorporates external shareholder and institutional support. The NSR is not an opinion on absolute default risks and does not address systemic risk.
The rating agency assigned a new bank financial strength rating (BFSR) of E to Banco Santander, S.A. (Uruguay), a 100%-owned subsidiary of Santander Central Hispano of Spain. Moody's assigned an E BFSR to Banco A.C.A.C. S.A., a 91%-owned subsidiary of Credit Agricole SA of France.
