The rating of Odesa confirms at uaАА-
Today, Credit Rating Agency has confirmed a long-term credit rating
of the city of Odesa at uaАА- with the stable
outlook. The credit rating is based on the results of the analysis of economic and
financial indicators for 1H2024, information on the city’s demographic situation, labor
market, debt obligations, available community property, and long-term plans for the
future.
An obligor or a debt liability with uaAA credit rating is characterized with the VERY STRONG creditworthiness as compared to other Ukrainian obligors or debt liabilities.
A plus "+" and a minus "-" signs indicate intermediary categories compared to the standard categories (grades).
A Stable outlook indicates that there are no anticipated reasons to change the rating in the course of the year.
Factors supporting the credit rating:
- The high level of the city’s fiscal capacity: in the 1H2024 the ratio of the amount of the community budget general fund revenue (excluding transfers) item per capita to the average value of local budgets was 104,3%;
- Increased budget revenues excluding transfers in 2014-2023 and 1H2024 as well as high liquidity ratios;
- Diversification of the city’s economic complex by lines of businesses as well as a low level of concentration of the budget revenues by principal taxpayers and other compulsory payments;
- Low debt burden on the community budget as well as effective policy of the city authorities for local debt management in order to optimize its amount and structure and good credit history.
Factors constraining the credit rating:
- The negative impact of the consequences of Russian military aggression against Ukraine on the financial market, national economy and social-economic development of certain communities, state and local finances, and the level of real income of the population;
- The high demand for additional financing, including for the restoration of urban facilities and housing and municipal facilities/
