Baden-Baden, March 23, 2023: GRENKE AG, global financing partner for small and medium-sized enterprises, reports the latest rating action by Standard & Poor's. S&P Global Ratings lowered the long-term issuer credit rating on GRENKE to 'BBB' from 'BBB+', and affirmed its 'A-2' short-term rating. The stable (previously: negative) outlook signifies that GRENKE is expected to maintain its sound risk appetite, asset quality, and high capital buffers, and to gradually recover its solid risk-adjusted profitability over the next two years.
