      EIB SME initiative for Italy – BP Bari performs in line with expectations - SME SRT

      Scope Ratings (Scope) has determined that the performance of EIB Group SME initiative for Italy – Banca Popolare di Bari accords with the agency’s expectations.

      The reference portfolio amortisation is in line with expectations. The sequential deleveraging of the transaction off-sets the loss potential from a growing delinquency pipeline for the rated tranche. Delinquent assets amount to 12.1% of the outstanding portfolio balance as of 31 December 2018. To date BP Bari has not filed a loss claim to the EIF. However, 53.0% of all delinquent assets are more than 90 days in arrears, the default definition of the transaction.

      Scope’s review considers the uncertainties related to the fragile macroeconomic situation in Italy and the generally weaker economic profile of the obligors from the Italian south.

      The financial guarantee provided by the European Investment Fund (EIF) to Banca Popolare di Bari (BP Bari) is an EU sponsored risk transfer transaction of Italian SME credit rights, i.e. loans and mortgages, in the context of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group SME initiative for Italy. The credit rights were originated and will be serviced by BP Bari.
