Fitch Ratings has affirmed Ukraine’s JSC State Savings Bank of Ukraine (Oshadbank) at a long-term issuer default rating (IDR) of ‘CCC’, with a stable outlook, as reported in its October 22, 2025, research update. The rating reflects Oshadbank’s position as a systemically important institution in Ukraine, alongside challenges related to asset quality, profitability, and governance risks. The ‘CCC’ rating indicates a high credit risk, with reliance on favorable economic and regulatory conditions to mitigate potential stress.
Fitch’s decision follows an assessment of the bank’s financial resilience amid ongoing macroeconomic pressures in Ukraine, including inflationary trends and currency volatility. While Oshadbank benefits from its state-owned status and a diversified loan portfolio, elevated nonperforming loans and operational vulnerabilities remain key constraints. The stable outlook suggests Fitch expects no material deterioration in the bank’s credit profile in the near term, contingent on maintaining regulatory compliance and effective risk management practices.
Investors are advised to monitor developments in Ukraine’s economic environment, including fiscal policies and geopolitical risks, which could influence Oshadbank’s creditworthiness. Further ratings actions will depend on progress in addressing structural challenges and aligning with international banking standards.
According to Fitch Ratings: Fitch Ratings, Fitch Affirms Oshadbank at ‘CCC’, October 22, 2025.
