New Delhi: Global rating agency Fitch<\/a> said Monday it has downgraded ICICI Bank<\/a> by a notch as financial health of the private sector banks has weakened.<\/p>\n

The rating action comes amid the challenges the bank faces in its operating environment, Fitch Ratings<\/a> said in a statement.<\/p>\n

"We also compared India with other sovereign jurisdictions in Asia rated in the 'BBB' category including the key metrics of GDP per capita and the ease-of-doing-business ranking," it said.<\/p>\n

It concluded the sector will perform below the average of its peers over the next one to two years in spite of our expectations of high economic growth and improving business prospects in India.<\/p>\n

"We estimate that Indian banks' impaired-loan ratio declined to an average of 10.8 per cent by 9 months of 2019-20 from 11.5 per cent in the financial year ended March 2018 (FY18), which continues to be high by global standards," it said.<\/p>\n
