S&P reviews Halk Bank

Standard & Poor's said it placed its B+ long-term counterparty credit rating on Halk Bank on CreditWatch with negative implications.

The B short-term counterparty credit rating was affirmed.

S&P said the CreditWatch placement reflects its view that Halk Bank's creditworthiness is under increasing pressure because high loan growth has weakened its capitalization, leading to a breach of the minimum regulatory requirement. The bank's capital ratio stood at 8.8% as of July 1, versus the regulatory 10% minimum.
