Capricorn\u00b4s Namibian long and short-term issuer ratings were affirmed at AA-(NA) and A1+(NA), and given a Stable outlook, with Bank Windhoek\u00b4s Namibian long and short-term issuer ratings affirmed as well at AA(NA)and A1+(NA), also with a Stable outlook. However, Bank Windhoek\u2019s South African national scale long-term issuer rating has been adjusted upwards to A(ZA), from A-(ZA), now with a Stable outlook as well. The stable outlook is based on Capricorn\u2019s strong market position, and assets that are expected to hold up well under difficult operating conditions. GCR also considers Capricorn\u2019s revenue streams to be diversified enough to blunt the impact that Covid-19 pandemic will have on its earnings, and will support capital generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":296581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-296591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
