S&P Global Ratings has changed its outlook on AIA Group (HKG:1299, HKG:81299) and its subsidiaries to positive from stable, according to a Monday release.
The outlook considers the likelihood of an upgrade in the next two years if the group's capital buffer remains above the 99.99% confidence level as per S&P's capital adequacy assessment.
The rating agency affirmed AIA Group's A+ long and A-1 short-term issuer credit ratings while also maintaining the ratings of its core and highly strategic subsidiaries.
The ratings reflect the insurance group's strong capital buffer, improved visibility on future profits under the IFRS 17 accounting standards, and resilience against volatile investment markets.
However, the group's expansion into developing markets and interest rate movements could potentially impact its capital strength, S&P said.
Notable movements in the group's capital adequacy around the 99.99% confidence level would lead to future rating or outlook actions, S&P said.
