The rating action follows the launch of the public offer by CACEIS for 100% of the share capital of KAS BANK. Fitch believes there is a high likelihood that the acquisition will be successfully executed.

Fitch states: 'In our opinion, once the acquisition is completed and before KAS BANK becomes a branch of CACEIS, the former will benefit from a high probability of support from Crédit Agricole (A+/Stable/F1/a+)'.

The rating actions are as follows:

  • Long-Term IDR: A-, placed on RWP
  • Short-Term IDR: F2, placed on RWP
  • Support Rating: 5, placed on RWP
