Yes Bank receives ratings boost
CARE Ratings has upgraded Yes Bank’s debt instruments’ rating from stable to positive. This upgrade is due to the improvement in the credit profile of the bank, said the rating agency.
It added that the bank has witnessed steady growth in deposits and improvement in its liquidity profile. However, the bank continues to suffer from weak asset quality due to concentrated exposure to stressed corporate groups and slippages in the retail segment on account of pandemic-induced lockdowns. Meanwhile, shares of Yes Bank were up 1.1% yesterday.
