Content RAM Ratings has assigned an AA3(s)/Stable rating to the Proposed RM5 billion Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah Programme of Mumtaz Rakyat Sukuk Berhad a funding conduit of Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad (Bank Rakyat or the Bank, rated AA2/Stable/P1). The issue rating reflects Bank Rakyat's credit profile as it is the obligor of the Proposed Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah. The 1notch difference between Bank Rakyat's AA2 longterm financial institution rating and the AA3 rating of the Proposed Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah reflects the subordination of the instrument to the Bank's deposits and other senior obligations. The Proposed Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah is Basel IIIcompliant and will qualify as Bank Rakyat's tier2 capital. It has a lossabsorption feature linked to a nonviability event of Bank Rakyat and/or Mumtaz Rakyat. Bank Rakyat is a leading cooperative and developmental financial institution (DFI) in Malaysia, with a strong foothold in the provision of personalfinancing (PF) facilities to civil servants. Given the Bank's status as a cooperativecumDFI, we expect it to receive ready support from the Government, if needed. Backed by a sizeable PF portfolio that benefits from repayments via nondiscretionary salary deductions administered by Biro Perkhidmatan Angkasa, Bank Rakyat's asset quality remained sound with a grossimpaired financing ratio of 1.9% as at endDecember 2015. The Bank recorded a creditcost ratio of only 0.1% in fiscal 2015 (fiscal 2014: 0.8%), thanks to better recoveries and lower individual impairment charges. Although still healthy, Bank Rakyat's pretax profit and ROA declined to RM2.0 billion and 2.2%, respectively, in fiscal 2015 (fiscal 2014: RM2.2 billion and 2.5%). Excluding the utilisation of its profitequalisation reserve and other oneoff items, however, the Bank's underlying pretax profit would have improved to RM1.8 billion in fiscal 2015 (fiscal 2014: RM1.6 billion), mainly attributable to sharply lower impairment charges. Underscored by its healthy internal capital generation and the periodic issuance of new shares, the Bank's capitalisation is robust. Its core capital and riskweighted capital adequacy ratios stood at a respective 18.9% and 20.1% as at endDecember 2015.
