Credit-Rating Assigns PROFIN BANK PJSC uaA-
Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today announced that it assigned a long-term credit rating of uaA- (uaA minus) to Donetsk-based PROFIN BANK PJSC (‘bank’). The outlook on the rating is stable. In the course of the rating procedure Credit-Rating considered bank’s financial statements for 2005-2009 and its other inside information.
An obligor or a debt liability with uaA credit rating is characterized with the HIGH STRONG creditworthiness as compared to other Ukrainian obligors or debt liabilities. This level of creditworthiness is susceptible to adverse changes in commercial, financial and economic conditions. A plus "+" and a minus "-" signs indicate intermediary categories compared to the standard categories (grades).
Stable outlook indicates that there are no anticipated reasons to change the rating in the course of the year.
