    Creditreform Rating has set the bank rating of Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Helaba to A. The outlook is stable. The rating is based on the strong representation in the saving banks sector and the good asset quality. The Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Helaba is a savings central bank and due to its geographical extension responsible for about 40% of German savings banks. In addition, the Frankfurter Sparkasse is a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary. On the other hand, the low profitability within the competitive environment, and the high personnel costs have an adverse effect on the rating.
