Fitch Ratings has published a new report, 'Peer Review: Peruvian State Banks' following a peer review of the international scale ratings of four state-owned financial institutions in Peru. The report is available on Fitch's website at 'www.fitchratings.com' or by clicking on the link.

The report highlights the propensity and capacity of the state to support the state banks, should it be necessary. Although these institutions do not benefit from an explicit state guarantee, Fitch considers the possibility of sovereign support to be strong given the government's ownership, and the key roles played by these institutions in financing government operations, filling gaps in private sector services, and carrying out the government's economic development strategy in agriculture, housing and infrastructure. The government's ability to provide such support is reflected in its Sovereign rating of 'BBB+/A-'.
