KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmation of TBANK's ratings reflects limited changes in the bank's credit profile since our last review. See the most recent rating action commentary, "Fitch Upgrades Thailand's TMB, TBANK, TCAP and UOBT; Affirms Other Mid- and Small-Sized Banks", dated 10 September 2018. Fitch notches down TCAP's National Long-Term Rating once from its key operating subsidiary, TBANK, to address the structural subordination of the holding company and the presence of large minority interests, in accordance with Fitch's criteria.
