What the highest rating means for Banco Nación
In addition to the long-term rating, FIX SCR maintained the A1+(arg) rating for the short term. This indicator reflects a very strong capacity to meet payment obligations in a timely and proper manner.
According to the report, both ratings are supported by the bank's solid operating performance, a robust capital position, and adequate liquidity levels. The gradual reduction of exposure to the public sector was also valued.
More credit to the private sector and better performance
One of the key points is the stronger push for credit to the private sector, in line with the portfolio diversification strategy. This move made it possible to improve the risk profile without affecting overall soundness.
Más crédito al sector privado y mejor desempeño
FIX highlighted a positive evolution of operating performance compared with previous assessments. In that regard, it reported a positive ROAA of 1.2% and an irregular portfolio limited to 2.2%.
The role within the Argentine financial system
The report also emphasized Banco Nación's central role within the local financial system. The institution concentrates a significant share of the market's deposits and loans.

In addition, the Central Bank considers it a systemically important institution, a condition that reinforces its importance and explains its ability to sustain stable performance.
Comparison with the previous assessment
In relation to the July 2025 report, FIX SCR observed an improvement in operating results and greater credit dynamism. Asset quality remained stable.
Although capital levels remain high, the rating agency anticipates a gradual decline, expected due to credit growth. Even so, the rating and outlook remain unchanged.
