RATING ACTION:
On March 12, 2024, CariCRIS reaffirmed the assigned ratings of ttAA- (National Local Currency Ratings) on the Trinidad & Tobago national scale, for Home Mortgage Bank’s Collateralized Mortgage Obligation – CMO 2022-01. A stable outlook was assigned.
RATING SENSITIVITY FACTORS:
Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to an improvement in the ratings and /or outlook include:
• An improvement in the credit rating of the sovereign over the next 12-15 months.
• Satisfactory repayment of Tranche A with payment flows in line with or above CariCRIS’ expectations.
• Sustained improvement in TTMF’s asset quality levels which reduces the originator risk.
Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to a lowering of the ratings/or outlook include:
• Persistent deterioration in the mortgage pool quality with delinquency levels of above 10% and/ or NPL ratio of above 5% within the underlying mortgage pool leading to heightened extension and/ or default risk over the next 12-15 months.
• Deterioration in TTMF’s NPLs to Gross loans ratio of above 10.5% sustained for 2 financial periods.
• A deterioration in the credit risk profile of T&T leading to increased market risk.
• Cashflow shortfalls from the mortgage pool that may impair payments of principals and interests.
• Replacement of TTMF as Administrator and Trustee and HMB as Registrar and Paying Agent with a lower rated counterparty.
