Lebanese banking sector has low level of potential vulnerability, similar to sectors in the U.S. and Germany

In its semi-annual risk assessment of 115 banking systems in advanced and emerging economies, Fitch Ratings placed Lebanon's banking sector among 92 banking systems with a "low level of potential vulnerability", the highest category on Fitch's Macro-Prudential Indicator (MPI). The MPI identifies the build-up of potential stress in banking systems due to a specific set of circumstances. It aims to highlight potential systemic stress that could materialize up to three years after an early warning is first detected. 

Lebanon's MPI score has been unchanged since October 2013, when Fitch upgraded Lebanon's score to '1' from a previous score of '2'. Other countries in this category include Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan and the United States.

In parallel, the agency indicated that Lebanon's banking sector was among 15 banking systems that have a Banking System Indicator (BSI) of 'b'. The BSI is a measure of intrinsic banking system quality or strength, derived from Fitch's Viability Ratings for banks.
