Fitch says APAC banks resilient to risks highlighted by U.S. bank failures

(Reuters) – Ratings agency Fitch said on Thursday that direct exposures to Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank among its portfolio of rated banks in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region appear limited.

（路透社）——评级机构惠誉周四表示，在亚太地区 (apac) 地区的受评银行组合中，硅谷银行和 signature bank 的直接敞口似乎有限。

Weaknesses that led to the failure of the two banks are among the factors already considered in the agencys rating assessments for APAC banks, it said.

它表示，导致这两家银行倒闭的弱点是该机构在对亚太地区银行进行评级评估时已经考虑的因素之一。

“We generally view securities portfolio valuation risks as manageable for APAC banks,” Fitch said, adding that exposures tend to be the highest in India and Japan.

“我们通常认为亚太地区银行的证券投资组合估值风险是可控的，”惠誉表示，并补充说印度和日本的风险敞口往往最高。

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has sparked a crisis of confidence in the banking sector, leading to a run on deposits at a host of regional banks despite U.S. authorities rolling out emergency measures to shore up confidence.

硅谷银行的倒闭引发了银行业的信心危机，尽管美国当局推出了紧急措施以提振信心，但仍导致许多地区性银行出现存款挤兑。

Earlier on Thursday, S&P said the fallout from Silicon Valley Banks collapse may not lead to any rating actions on APAC banks as they are well placed to absorb potential contagion effects.

周四早些时候，标准普尔表示，硅谷银行倒闭的后果可能不会导致对亚太地区银行采取任何评级行动，因为它们处于有利地位以吸收潜在的传染效应。
