Citing reasons for upgrading NLB’s credit rating, Standard and Poor’s listed NLB’s commitment to Strategy 2030, which foresees expansion in SEE, business model diversification, and the upgrade of operating model, aimed to double balance sheet and after-tax profits by 2030.
The stable outlook reflects agency’s view that NLB will maintain a robust balance sheet and solid financial performance over the next 12-24 months while continuing to deliver on Strategy. “Despite high balance sheet growth in recent years, NLB maintained sound capitalization and its solid funding franchise” wrote Standard and Poor’s.
