Translation Of The Press Release Or Executive Summary
Fitch Ratings-London-01 October 2010: Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Long-Term Foreign-Corrency Issuer Default Ratings (LTFC IORS) of 20 Turkish banks and their subsidiaries, A full list of rating actions is available at wansfitchratinge.com. Accordingly Kuveyt Turk has been downgraded as follows:
Long-term Foreign currency 'DR downgraded to BB-Negative from BB/Nepal/a.
Long-term Local Currency IDR downgraded to BB/Negative from BB/./Negative.
The IORs, Support Ratings (SRs), FC senior debt ratings and National Ratings of these banks are driven by potential support from their shareholders. This reflects Fitch's view that the banks constitute strategically important subsidiaries, to varying
degrees, for their parents. It also considers ownership stakes. integration, the subsidiaries' roles within their respective groups and, for some, common branding.
The one-notch downgrade of the banks' LTFC IORs and FC senior debt ratings, to one notch below the level of the sovereign
LTFC IDR, reflects our view that, in case of a marked detedoration in Turkey's external finances, the risk of government
intervention in the banking sector would be higher than that of a sovereign default The banks LTLC IORs are also downgraded
by one notch to reflect intervention Asks. The Negative Outlooks on the banks' IDRs reflect those on the Turkish sovereign.
Fitch continues to view the risk of caWtal oontrols being imposed in Turkey as remote given Turkeys high dependence on foreign
capital (and ensuing strong incentive to retain market access) and the eventually orthodox policy response to recent market pressures. Nevertheless, in case of a marked deterioration in Turkeys external finances, some form of intervention in the banking
system that might impede the banks' ability to service their FC oblations would become more likely, in Fitch's view.
The downgrades of the banks' National Ratings reflect the downgrades of their LTLC IDRs.
