Fitch Ratings increased Bank Zachodni WBK rating (Report no.27/2005)

Fitch Ratings Upgrades Poland's Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. to Individual 'C' Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. announces that Fitch Ratings Rating Agency informed on upgrade of BZWBK S.A. rating.

Fitch Ratings-London-23 November 2005: Fitch Ratings has today upgraded Poland-based Bank Zachodni WBK Bank's ("BZ WBK") Individual rating to 'C' from 'C/D'. Fitch has also affirmed the other ratings at Long-term 'A', Short-term 'F1', and Support '1'. The Outlook is Positive.

The upgrade reflects improvements in BZ WBK's profitability resulting from its completed restructuring programme, better asset quality, and strengthening capitalisation. "BZ WBK's prudent lending practices have left it with better asset quality than most of its peers." says Chris Birney, Director with Fitch's Financial Institutions Group. Further improvement in BZ WBK's Individual rating would require better operating profitability and a strengthening of its franchise.

The Long-term, Short-term and Support ratings are based on the potential for support from BZ WBK's controlling shareholder, Allied Irish Banks ('AIB', rated 'AA-' (AA minus)/Stable Outlook). BZ WBK's Long-term rating is currently constrained by the Country Ceiling for Poland.

AIB is one of the largest banks in Ireland, with EUR116 billion of assets as of end-H105. It employs over 23,000 people in more than 700 offices worldwide. AIB built a 60.1% stake in WBK between 1995 and 1996. In 1999 AIB acquired 80% of Bank Zachodni SA from the Polish State Treasury and in 2001 merged the two banks to create BZ WBK, in which AIB currently has a 70.5% stake.

BZ WBK is Poland's 7th largest bank by assets. The Bank operates through 384 branches and has 7,522 full-time employees.

Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the 'Code of Conduct' section of this site.
