Good Risk Systems: Fitch expects EXIM’s asset quality to come under pressure but to remain
at comfortable levels. EXIM’s loans are made to clients who operate in the export sector, and
are prone to deterioration from weakness in this segment. However, this is partly mitigated by
the sound quality of its non LoC/ non-bank refinance loan portfolio (median rating of “A”) and
the highly secured nature of its loan book (100% secured).
Below system average NPL levels (even after adjusting for LoC and bank refinance book)
highlights the quality of EXIMs risk management systems. Sound capitalization levels (CAR
16.44%) and modest profitability profile, further provides cushion against any losses.
Modest Profitability: Fitch expects EXIM’s moderate profitability (RoAA: 1.14%) to come
under pressure. The bank’s interest-income-led earnings profile (NIM 2.18%) is likely to
experience NIM compressions as the comparatively lower-margin LoC business grows to form
a larger proportion of its asset base. However, its earnings profile continues to be well-
supported by its strong efficiency levels (cost/income ratio: 5.21%) – largely a function of the
nature of its lending.
Analysts
Ambreesh Srivastava What Could Trigger a Rating Action
+65 6796 7218
ambreesh.srivastava@fitchratings.com Changes to Sovereign Rating: EXIM’s ratings and Outlook are aligned to that of the
Jobin Jacob sovereign. Any changes to the latter would lead to a change in EXIM’s ratings/Outlook.

Furthermore, any perceived or evident weakness in EXIM’s linkage with the government could
also lead to rating changes, although Fitch views this as highly unlikely.

reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings, Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other
sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with
its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are
available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch’s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it
obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdi ction in which the
rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the
management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon
procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability
of independent and competent third-party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer,
and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch’s ratings should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party
verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the
issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offeri ng documents and
other reports. In issuing its ratings Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements
and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions
about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings can be affected
by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating was issued or affirmed.
The information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the
creditworthiness of a security. This opinion is based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and
updating. Therefore, ratings are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating.
The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged
in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are
not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is
neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in
connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at anytime for any reason in the sole discreti on of Fitch.
Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not
comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of
payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating
securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch
will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single
annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assi gnment,
publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any
registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the
securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be
