EM Banking System Datawatch Economic Risks Ease; Moderate Pressure on Bank Credit Profiles Remains Special Report Economic Risks Ease: Fitch Ratings expects economic growth in emerging markets (EMs) to recover moderately to 4.1% in 2016 and accelerate to 4.9% in 2017 after a low of 3.8% in 2015. Near-term downside risks for EMs have eased in recent months as a result of the stabilisation of growth in China, the commodity price recovery and a weaker dollar. We expect continued strong economic performance in India, and for Russia and Brazil to exit recession in 2017. Moderate Negative Rating Pressure: EM banks’ credit profiles remain under moderate pressure, notwithstanding the easing of downside risks, due to slower-than-historical GDP growth, maturing loan books, lower commodity prices, weaker currencies and greater political risks. These factors, combined with Negative Outlooks on sovereign ratings, drive Negative Outlooks on most banks in Russia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia; 25% of EM banks were on Negative Outlook at end-1Q16, up from 22% at end-2015 mainly due to actions in EMEA.

Buffers, Support Largely Intact: Fitch still expects negative rating actions to be moderate in scope. This reflects banks’ significant loss-absorption capacity, still positive economic growth in most EMs and available sovereign support. Discussions on senior creditor bail-in are gaining traction in some EMs (most notably Russia), but Fitch expects support, in particular for stateowned banks, to remain in place across most EMs for the foreseeable future. Russia Stabilising: Russian banks continue to recognise problem loans and capital at some is tight, but downside risks have fallen as the economy starts to bottom out. Liquidity remains comfortable, margins are slowly recovering and regulatory forbearance is being rolled back. Turkish banks’ performance remains sound, supported by solid economic growth, although NPLs will likely continue to tick up as portfolios season. Banks’ foreign borrowing has slowed as a narrower current account deficit has reduced Turkey’s financing requirements. Pressures, Support in China: Slower economic growth in China is adding to pressure on banks’ asset quality. NPL ratios, although rising, remain low due to regulatory forbearance and various support measures, while credit/GDP continues to creep up to unsustainable levels. Elsewhere in EM Asia, the mostly negative Sector Outlooks for 2016 reflect expected pressures from slower growth in China, lower commodity prices and weaker currencies. But banks’ profitability and capital buffers should in most cases help to offset these effects.

Indian Banks’ Capital Needs: Regulatory driven efforts to deal with legacy asset-quality issues are driving up reported NPLs and credit costs, adding to pressures on capital. In particular, public-sector lenders will find it challenging to generate internally, or raise from the market, the capital they need to ensure full Basel III implementation by 2019. Brazil Weakening; LatAm Stable: Credit costs are rapidly trending upward in Brazil, with state-owned and smaller private-sector banks particularly badly hit and some already posting operating losses. Elsewhere in Latin America, Fitch expects the mild economic slowdown to moderately affect asset-quality and profitability metrics, but slower loan growth should support capital adequacy and funding profiles. Slower Growth in GCC: In Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, lending growth has weakened since 2015 due to reduced government spending and tighter liquidity has resulted in higher funding costs, which banks have started to pass on to borrowers. Most ratings remain driven by potential sovereign support and some have been downgraded as sovereigns’ ability to provide support has diminished with lower oil revenues.

Banks Loan Growth, Penetration and Currency Structure
China continued to report significant, albeit slowing, loan growth from a high base, a more recent acceleration of non-loan facilities adds to broader credit expansion. Reductions in Hungary and Slovenia were due to deleveraging and portfolio cleaning.

Banks Loan Impairment and Coverage
In Brazil, asset-quality metrics have been supported by loan restructuring. Further sharp increase in NPLs in Ukraine driven by recession and currency depreciation; the same factors also caused (much smaller) NPL increases in Russia and other CIS countries. Higher NPL ratio in Bulgaria the result of adoption of EBA definition; in India NPLs are rising and yet to peak due to regulatory-driven cleanup of legacy exposures. Further large reduction in Kazakh NPL ratio reflected regulatory pressure as banks removed legacy impaired loans from balance sheets (but sometimes only to related SPVs).

Lower NPLs in Hungary were due to regulatory-driven settlement of retail loans and corporate work-outs; in Romania, this reflected continuation of regulatory-driven clean-up begun in 2014, and in Slovenia was driven by both write-offs/sales and recoveries.
High coverage ratios in many Latin American markets are supported by quite conservative provisioning rules. CIS coverage ratios are boosted by considerable loan restructuring in some markets. Moderate coverage in some CEE markets partly reflects reasonable mortgage book collateralisation.

Banks Performance
Further increase in (nominal) net interest margin in Venezuela was due to higher inflation. Margin improvement in Bulgaria driven by reduction in funding costs. Margins collapsed in Russia due to higher funding costs after the end2014 rate rise (but slowly recovered during 2015 -1H16); in Ukraine also driven primarily by rate rise. Lower margins in Argentina driven by policy rate cuts and tighter credit spreads; in Brazil, conversely, the cause was rate hikes, which resulted in higher funding costs. Lower margins in Hungary were due to the new pricing regime for retail loans, policy rate reductions and shrinking loan volumes; in Armenia due to moderate pressure on both sides of balance sheet. Very high cost of risk in Ukraine reflects sharp NPL growth and loan write-offs at failed banks.

Solid capital ratios in Nigeria provide moderate buffer against risks from lower oil prices and depreciation. North Asian markets and India are operating with relatively higher leverage and tighter capital ratios, often reflecting state ownership. CEE banks are operating with average leverage metrics, but high capital ratios, mainly due to government bonds, mortgage books.

Turkish banks have funded part of loan growth through market borrowings, but high LTD ratios in some CIS markets are more due to government/shareholder funding. Most Asian, Latin American and GCC systems are primarily deposit funded. Greater access to longer-term wholesale facilities in some more mature domestic markets (Korea and Chile) is reflected in higher LTD ratios (in Korea, this also reflects significant international borrowings).

Higher ratios in Costa Rica and UAE are due to moderate loan growth and close to flat deposits; increase in Colombia driven by still significant loan growth. Sharp reduction in Azerbaijan LTD was driven by high dollarization of deposit base and large devaluations of manat. Lower LTD in Kazakhstan primarily reflected loan write-offs (net loans to deposits were flat); reduction in Armenia was due both to loan contraction and deposit growth.
There is significant dependence on foreign funding in some CEE and CIS countries, albeit in most cases largely from parent banks, rather than market facilities.
Foreign Funding/Total Liabilities
Refinancing risks are significant for Turkish banks due to predominance of market funding in external debt and large share of short-term facilities.

Banks Annex 1: Data Sources and Presentation Countries Fitch has published the EM Banking System Datawatch report semi-annually since 2010 to facilitate cross-market comparisons of key credit metrics in emerging-market banking sectors. The current report covers 48 markets, as listed below (the codes used in the charts are shown here in brackets).
Asia (9): China (CHN), India (IND), Indonesia (IDN), Malaysia (MYS), Philippines (PHL), South Korea (KOR), Sri Lanka (LKA), Taiwan (TWN), Thailand (THA)
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) (8): Bulgaria (BGR), Czech Republic (CZE), Hungary (HUN), Poland (POL), Romania (ROM), Slovakia (SVK), Slovenia (SVN), Turkey (TUR)
Commonwealth of Independent States and Georgia (CIS/GEO) (7): Armenia (ARM), Azerbaijan (AZE), Belarus (BLR), Georgia (GEO), Kazakhstan (KAZ), Russia (RUS), Ukraine (UKR)

Middle East (ME)/Africa (10): Bahrain (BHR), Egypt (EGY), Israel (ISR), Kuwait (KWT), Nigeria (NGA), Oman (OMN), Qatar (QAT), Saudi Arabia (SAU), South Africa (ZAF), United Arab Emirates (UAE)
From 2013, Fitch has followed the IMF’s definition of emerging markets, in accordance with which the Czech Republic, Israel, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea and Taiwan are not classified as EMs. However, these markets continue to be included in this report to facilitate cross-country comparisons. The data for Bahrain includes only retail banks.
Sources Data have been sourced primarily from disclosures of national regulators, and through application of Fitch calculations to these. Where regulatory disclosure is insufficient, Fitch has sometimes derived sector ratios by calculating averages of those reported by rated banks. In such cases, the bank data has usually been taken from public disclosures; however, in Ukraine and Azerbaijan, management data reported to Fitch has been used to derive sector asset quality ratios. Where regulatory data are absent and reasonable estimates cannot be made, countries have been omitted from relevant charts. Of the 48 countries covered in this report, regulatory disclosures are most limited in China, Romania, Nigeria, some countries of the GCC and – since 2015 – Azerbaijan.
Dates All data in this report are as at end-2015, unless otherwise indicated. The financial year in India runs from April to March. In this report, regulatory data at end-2015 and Fitch estimates at end-2015 are used. Full-sector data for FY16 (end-March 2016) have not been published.
Annexes Detailed regulatory data and Fitch-calculated ratios and estimates (mostly, as of end-2015) are presented in Annex 2. Fitch estimates are indicated in the annexes in italics.

Reproduction or retransmission in whole or in part is prohibited except by permission. All rights reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or i n a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch’s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security i s offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent thirdparty verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch’s ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ul timately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed. The information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers. For Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and South Korea only: Fitch Australia Pty Ltd holds an Australian financial services license (AFS license no. 337123) which authorizes it to provide credit ratings to wholesale clients only. Credit ratings information published by Fitch is not intended to be used by persons who are retail clients within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001.
