Capital Intelligence (CI), the international credit rating agency, has today downgraded Commercial International Bank (CIB)'s Long-Term and Short Term Foreign Currency Ratings to 'BB+' and 'B', respectively, from 'BBB-' and 'A3'. The Outlook for these ratings is revised to 'Negative' from 'Stable'. The Support Rating is affirmed at 3. The Outlook for the Bank's 'A' Financial Strength Rating is also revised to 'Negative' from 'Stable'.

These actions follow the downgrade in Egypt's Sovereign Long-Term and Short-Term Foreign Currency Ratings to BB+ and B, respectively, from BBB- and A3. The Outlook for the Sovereign Ratings was changed to 'Negative' from 'Stable'.

According to CI's rating Methodology, the rating action on CIB's Foreign Currency Ratings captures the constraint imposed by the revised Sovereign Rating. Despite the weaker credit rating of the Sovereign, CIB's Support Rating of 3 is affirmed based on the expectation that as a systemically important bank it will continue to benefit from a high level of official support in case of need.

CIB's Financial Strength Rating will be subject to downward pressure due to the disruptive effects of political and social upheaval on the Bank's operations. It is also expected that the deterioration in the operating environment may affect the Bank's inherent financial condition, including its liquidity, asset quality and financial performance.
