Moody's Downgrades Three Slovenian Banks

July 26, 2012

Moody's ratings agency on Thursday downgraded the credit of Slovenia's three largest banks for the second time in four months.

Moody's cut Nova Ljubljanska banka (NLB) from Ba2 to B2, Nova Kreditna Banka Maribor (NKBM) from Ba2 to B3 and Abanka Vipava from Ba3 to Caa1.

Moody's last reduced the rating of the three state-owned banks in April, citing their large bad credit portfolios.

The decision had been anticipated.
