How did Standard Chartered Bank Nepal Maintain this AAA Rating?

There are two companies that provide ratings to the issuer companies in Nepal. They are ICRA Nepal and Care Ratings Nepal. They provide ratings to the companies such that it will be one of the yardsticks to the stakeholders to decide the status of that company.

ICRA Nepal has rated Standard Chartered Bank Nepal under AAA rating after evaluating various criteria. It takes into account all relevant factors that could have an impact on the future cash generation of an issuer. Factors such as industry characteristics, the competitive position of the issuer, operating efficiency, management quality, commitment to new projects, and funding policies are also taken into account.

Standard Chartered Bank Nepal CEO Anirvan Ghosh Dastidar said,

“The reaffirmation of AAA rating for three years in a row is strong validation of our commitment to clients and all our stakeholders in Nepal. We thank everyone for making this possible.”

According to ICRA Nepal, in spite of the pandemic of Covid-19, the rating reaffirmation factors in the bank’s strong financial profile, as demonstrated by its strong capitalization and healthy asset quality.

Moreover, its recognition as a bank with global standards has supported it in gaining reaffirming this position. In addition to that, it won the “Best Consumer Digital Bank in Nepal” title in the year 2020, by Global Finance. 

On August 12th, 2020, it was also named “Best Consumer Digital Bank in Nepal” by Global Finance, New York.
