Erste Bank Hungary Zrt (EBH) – Rating action by Fitch Ratings

EBH's long- and short-term deposit ratings were assigned at 'A-'/'F1'. The long-term deposit rating is one notch above the bank's SSR of 'bbb+', reflecting the revised view of increased depositor protection from depositor preference in Hungary, the bank's ability to meet its resolution buffer requirement with its own small resolution debt buffer and country risk considerations. The shortterm deposit rating is the higher of the two options corresponding to an 'A-' long-term deposit rating and is in line with the parent's (Erste Group Bank AG, A/Stable/F1) Short-Term IDR.
