Significant Foreign Ownership Could Benefit Indian Financial Institutions, Fitch Says

Indian financial institutions' credit profiles could gain support from sizable foreign shareholder ownership, Fitch Ratings said in a recent release.Foreign shareholding provides long-term capital and funding flexibility, business franchise improvement, and better governance standards, Fitch said.Still, Fitch does not consider foreign ownership as an innately reliable indicator of better credit fundamentals, with transactions that boost internal controls, risk management, and leadership accountability having more credit relevance.Increased interest from foreign shareholders points to growing confidence in India's long-term growth outlook and the financial industry's regulation and oversight, as well as better risk governance, Fitch said.Fitch believes there is a greater likelihood of foreign investors owning control of nonbank financial institutions rather than those of banks, as full foreign ownership of NBFIs is allowed.Minority shareholders can also have a sizable influence over NBFIs in the presence of business and operational synergies, Fitch said.

Asia-Pacific Agrochemical Issuers Have Buffers for Middle East War Risks, Fitch Says

Asia-Pacific agrochemical issuers are capable of cushioning against increased freight, fuel, and input costs due to the Middle East conflict, preventing near-term rating pressure, Fitch Ratings said in a recent release.Nufarm (ASX:NUF), UPL (NSE:UPL, BOM:512070), and Syngenta Group have narrow direct vulnerabilities from the region, differentiated sourcing, and ample inventory serving as buffers for the first-round impact on earnings, Fitch said.Fitch expects supply chain disruption to not be impactful enough on the issuers' credit profiles in the near term, especially with operating flexibility and geographic diversification.Issuers' credit strength will also gain support from their business mix, although this would be uneven across products, with seeds the most staunch due to their key role in crop planning and fertilizers being more exposed amid a growing share of farmers' costs.The impact of crop protection lies between the other two products since its demand is less inelastic than food demand, Fitch said.The rating agency still sees dampened near-term profitability due to a gradual and initially incomplete cost pass-through.
