Fitch revises rtg watch on AGBank to evolving, keeps Demir on RWN

Fitch has also maintained Demirbank's (Demir) 'B' Long-term IDR on RWN.

The rating actions follow the recent announcements of the anticipated merger between Demir and AGB. We placed both banks' IDRs on RWN on 24 December 2015 shortly after the sharp manat devaluation, which caused a significant weakening of both banks' capital positions.
