The credit rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS’ baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns - December 2023 Update, published on December 19, 2023. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace Morningstar DBRS’ moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to originating, underwriting, and servicing.

-- The credit rating actions are the result of collateral performance to date and Morningstar DBRS’ assessment of future performance assumptions.

-- The transactions’ capital structure and the form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement. The current level of hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the Morningstar DBRS projected remaining cumulative net loss assumptions at a multiple of coverage commensurate with the credit ratings.
