Babnet - L’agence de notation financière Standard & Poor’s (S&P) a maintenu la Tunisie dans le groupe 8 en ce qui concerne la qualité de crédit de son industrie bancaire (Banking industry country risk assessment en anglais, Bicra), tandis que la note du pays en termes de risques économiques a été abaissée d'un cran (de 7 à 8).
L’évaluation « Bicra » compare les différents systèmes bancaires mondiaux en notant les institutions financières des pays, que ces dernières soient cotées ou pas.
Bicra attribue ainsi des scores aux systèmes bancaires sur une échelle de 1 à 10, le groupe 1 comprenant les secteurs bancaires les moins risqués et le groupe 10 incluant les plus risqués. La Tunisie fait ainsi partie du groupe 8, incluant également l’Argentine, le Kazakhstan, la Lettonie, le Nigeria, le Liban et l’Uruguay.

OVERVIEW
We believe that weakened economic prospects in Tunisia are likely to challenge its banks.
-- We are lowering our economic risk score, a component of the Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment (BICRA), to '8' from '7' based on our revised assessment of economic resilience to "very high risk" from "high risk" and our assessment of credit risk in the economy to "extremely high risk" from "very high risk".
-- We are maintaining our BICRA on Tunisia at group '8'.
-- The industry risk score, a second BICRA component, remains unchanged at '8'.
BICRA ACTION
On June 28, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services maintained its Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment (BICRA) on the Republic of Tunisia (BB/Stable/B) at group '8'. It also lowered its economic risk score, a component of the BICRA, to '8' from '7'. The industry risk score, a second BICRA component, remains unchanged at '8'.
RATIONALE
The lowered assessment of "economic resilience" and "credit risk in the economy" reflects our view that economic, fiscal, and external indicators--both in reported data and in our revised forecasts--are now weaker than we previously anticipated and will affect Tunisia's banking sector. Economic deterioration will weigh on banks by increasing credit costs and lowering revenue generating capacity. On May 23, 2012, we lowered the sovereign credit ratings on the Republic of Tunisia to 'BB/B' and assigned a stable outlook (see "Tunisia Foreign And Local Currency Ratings Lowered To 'BB/B' On Weaker Economic Indicators; Outlook Stable," published on RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal).
