    S&P upgraded the long-term credit rating of National to BB+ from BB, keeping the short-term credit rating at B and the outlook positive.

S&P estimates that the NPE ratio will further decline to below 3% by end-2025, so the cost of risk is forecast to decline to close to 50 basis points by the end of 2026 from 95 bp at the end of 2023.
