Punjab National Bank (PNB) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with credit rating agency ICRA under which the rating agency will assign ratings to Small Enterprises (SEs)/Small Scale Industries (SSIs) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are borrowers of the bank.

The MoU between ICRA and PNB seeks to deliver a number of benefits to the bank as well its borrowers. For PNB, ICRA ratings would serve as an objective and scientific input in decision making, and provide assistance in risk pricing, besides acting as an input in the setting of collateral requirements for borrowers, and facilitating future deals involving collateralized bond and loan obligations (CBOs and CLOs).

As for PNB’s borrowers, they would be able to obtain ICRA ratings at a relatively low cost. An ICRA rating may also place the rated entity in a superior position to possibly obtain competitive credit terms from PNB and the benefit of faster loan processing.
