These ratings indicate that the level of creditworthiness of this obligor, adjudged in relation to other obligors in the Caribbean and within T&amp;T is good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">CariCRIS has also maintained a <strong>stable<\/strong> outlook on the ratings. The stable outlook is based on our expectation that the Bank will continue to display good profitability and capitalization levels; supported by the likely improvements in economic activity over the next 12-15 months despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as the Russia\/Ukraine conflict. While we anticipate no material improvement in asset quality for the remainder of the year, we expect some improvement in 2023 as economic activity gathers pace. Furthermore, the Company is expected to comfortably cover its interest payments as they come due over the next 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\"><strong>Analysts\u2019 Contact Info:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Anelia Oudit<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Mobile : 1-868-487-8364<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\"><a href=\"mailto:aoudit@caricris.com\">aoudit@caricris.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 8pt;\">Nadia Sanchez<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\"><a href=\"mailto:nsanchez@caricris.com\">nsanchez@caricris.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; font-size: 8pt;\"><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> CariCRIS has taken due care and caution in compilation of data for this product.
