Pan-African credit rating agency, Agusto & Co. has affirmed the \u2018A\u2019 rating assigned to Fidelity Bank Plc and assigned an ESG score of \u20182\u2019 in reflection of the agency\u2019s view that environmental, social and governance issues have minimal contribution to the Bank\u2019s credit rating.<\/p>\n

According to a note on the Agusto & Co. website, \u201cThe rating reflects Fidelity Bank\u2019s improved profitability, strong ability to refinance, adequate capitalisation and low level of impaired credits.\u201d<\/p>\n
